ithin New York's Moroccan Jewish community — including synagogues in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn but relatively small compared to other Jewish communities and to the Moroccan Jewish communities in Israel, France, Spain, and Latin America — there are a few who remember the Judeo-Spanish spoken up until the 1950s in cities of northern Morocco like Tetuan and Tangier. Of the same origin as the better-known Judeo-Spanish (or Ladino) of the Ottoman Empire, Haketia took on more elements of Moroccan (Judeo-)Arabic, among other things. Alicia Raz, taken from Morocco to Israel when she was one day old, grew up speaking a "Hispanicized" Haketia and has worked to bring Haketia speakers in New York (and beyond) together with her Voces de Haketia project.
