Jews in Modern, Eastern, and Central Europe are Ashkenazi. Those fleeing the Spanish Inquisition for the likes of Italy, Turkey, and Iran are Sephardim.
Sephardic Jews of Spain and Portugal
by Barbara Steinberg Jewish traders and farmers have lived in Morocco’s cities and Atlas mountains since the time of the Roman Empire. However, the most notable Jewish immigration to Morocco came in 1492, when Queen Isabella I of Castille ordered them to convert to Christianity or leave Spain. Each Moroccan city had a separate Jewish … Continue reading "Moroccan Judaica"

Portugal's law of return for Sephardim went into effect last month and has drawn an international mosaic of Jews driven by emotion, ambition -- or both.

Intermarriage between between Jews from different ethnic backgrounds has increased steadily over the past several decades, and people say that this is solving the socioeconomic gaps that existed between Ashkenazim and Sephardim in Israeli society.

The music, the food, and the customs that evolved in the many countries Sephardim lived in were alluring to me, too. I was so captivated that […]
I actually think Pesach (Passover) might be the most celebrated holiday amongst the Jewish people! There are definitely different levels of strictness that we follow between Ashkenazim, Sephardim, the different sects, but what we all have in common is that we are commemorating the time when our people were freed from slavery in Egypt #jewishtiktok #passover #kosherforpassover #pesach #jewishholiday
When I am planning a Passover menu I look to the Sephardic traditions of the Mediterranean. The Sephardim were the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula; they had a rich culture and lived in harmony with Christians and Muslims until the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions at the end of the 15th century, when all non-Christians were expelled from Spain and Portugal. The Sephardim were welcomed in Turkey, and many went to Greece, North Africa and the Middle East as well. Throughout the Mediterranean, springtime is the season for spinach and other greens, artichokes and fava beans, and these vegetables make delicious appearances at Passover meals. This dish is inspired by the fresh fava bean soup that Rivka Levy-Mellul, author of “La Cuisine Juive Marocaine,” remembers as the first course of her childhood Seders in Morocco. The authentic dish is a substantial soup made with quite a lot of meat, but I’ve made a vegetarian version. I expected the fava beans to color this soup a pale green, but the other vegetables — the carrots, leeks, turnips and onion — and especially the turmeric contribute just as much, and the color of the soup is more of a burnt orange.
