GEOGRAPHY EDUCATION

I found this image on social media from a great geography teacher (link to his site–looking for APHG group activities?  Try this).  This picture taken at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Memphis, TN shows an intrguing linguistic combination that I had never imagined before.  This is referred to as cultural syncretism, where two or more cultures or cultural traits combine together to make something new.  Globalization and migration are making more cultural combinations than we’ve ever seen before in this human mosaic we call home.
