Zis un shayn!

@astrugi - I am ashkenazi, and dated a sephardic women for a time. She taught me that the Ladino love songs generally had a metaphorical component. One person's interpretation may be another person's over-interpretation. You may be correct, and as I am not being a Ladino speaker, I give enormous...

Narrishkayt! Borders on polytheism. . .

@Scorpion753 Such a reasoned and tolerant response. You certainly are a shining example.
