Accents say a lot within the Jewish world. You can often tell someone’s religious affiliation or family traditions or sometimes even guess at their politics through their pronunciation of certain words.
Adriana Fernandez speaks with what most people would call a yeshivish accent. She says “Sukkos” and “Shabbos” and “the aleph beis” like a nice yeshiva bokher from Flatbush. She can say a perfect Hebrew “ch,” talk about davening and chat about the ins and outs of maintaining a kosher kitchen.
She did not, however, go to yeshiva, nor did she grow up in Brooklyn. She’s from Florida. And she’s not Jewish.
Fernandez picked up her accent and Jewish expertise from nannying for frum, or Jewishly observant, families in Boca Raton. She’s been in high demand from Orthodox families for the past three years, nannying almost exclusively for the city’s Jewish community.'>>>
