ADATTO: Did you have a bar mitsva?
SHAKI: Yes. My Torah portion that I read was that of “va-yikkhu li teruma” (“Take for me an offering”). My haftara portion [from the Prophets] was that of “va-Adonai natan hokhma li-Shelomo” (“And God gave Solomon wisdom”). My name is Solomon, and my haftara was about God giving King Solomon wisdom.
ADATTO: Did you give a speech in Ladino?
SHAKI: Yes, my speech was written by Barukh ben Yaakov, may he rest in peace, who was an eminent professor of Hebrew and Torah studies in Salonica.
ADATTO: Excellent, thank you very much.
