5 Mind-Blowing Differences Between Sephardic & Ashkenazi Jews | Big Jewish Ideas

While about 93% of American Jews identify with Ashkenazi heritage, Israel and the globe are home to a diverse mix of Sephardic, Mizrahi, and other Jewish communities.
Yet, media often presents an Ashkenormative image, overshadowing the reality that a significant number of Jews worldwide don't fit into this category.
In North America, the major Jewish communities are Ashkenazi - with ties to countries like Germany, France, and Eastern Europe - and Sephardic, from Portugal and Spain. But that's just part of the story - globally, there exists a vibrant mosaic of other Jewish cultures, including Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East, Ethiopian Jews, and numerous others.
Despite their unique languages, cuisines, and even some Jewish customs, all these groups share the core connection of Judaism and are part of a singular, global peoplehood.

About Big Jewish Ideas: Understand some “Big Jewish Ideas” through an examination of what it means to be Jewish in today’s world. This series raises crucial questions about peoplehood, Jewish identity, education and community, challenging anyone who’s curious to think about them deeply. We take a look into buzzword Jewish concepts like shabbat, Tikkun Olam, and more.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

For those asking about the origins of Jews, sorry for the confusion! This video talks about the divergence and development of the Ashkenazi and Sefardi groups. They all originated in the land of Israel, when they were all just Jews (or actually, part of 12 different Biblical tribes). Following different exiles, when some Jews were exiled to the Iberian Peninsula, and some to the Danube Valley, Rhineland areas, and subsequently other parts of Europe, they started developing into the group we call "Sefardi" and "Ashkenazi" - so that’s where those named groups originate from. We unpack it more in this video, with a more accurate map: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maiTeGx5hNWYg7s

My father was Ashkanazi, my mother Sephardic. When they got married in the 1940's it was considered a 'mixed marriage' and not particularly welcomed by my father's family.

True Jews trace their ancestry back to the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi and on back to Abraham. Conversion to Judaism does not change your DNA and make you Semitic. After Solomon died the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and part of Levi split from the other tribes and became known as Jews. Those other tribes lost their identity and are lost in history. You reading this may have an ancestor from the tribe of Asher for instance.

My grandfather, on my father's side, was a Sephardi Jew from Northern Spain. He was a none observant Jew, but all I can say is that he was the toughest man I have ever met. Even in his late 80s, he was thin, medium height, and tough as nails. When I say tough, I don't mean violent or mean. I mean extraordinary endurance and resiliency. Honor was everything to him. Soft spoken, never got upset. If not for the fact that he was a Jew, I would say that he was more of a crusader, a member of the Templar order. I am old now and in the twilight of my life. The closer I get to oblivion, the more I respect and admire him and my father. Whenever I open a bottle of wine, I always pour the first drops on the ground and speak his and my father's name outloud because there is a saying that says a man only truly dies when his name is spoken for the last time.

That’s such an awkward comparison. It were the members of Templar order who were th cruelest to the jewish community. Get your historic facts straight.

[@JR-kk6ce]

@@CC-hx7lj you say that because it was Molay's belief that the Jews killed Jesus. That was back then, views changed. A point of interest The term "kiss my a s s" came from the days of the Templar. A certain religion belived that the God Kundalini, lived at the base of the spine of people, and the way to awaken him was to kiss the person on the a-hole. Then, the God would travel up the spine and up to the person's forehead giving the person the third eye we see in many ancient sculptures. One of the charges against the Templars by the Church was that they were a s s kissers. Anyways, that is where the term comes from and Friday the 13th comes from the fact that the Templars were gathered up and arrested on that day. A final factoid - if you go to Spain, make sure you go to the National Archives. There you will find original records going back hundreds of years which were prepared by chronicles who had first hand knowledge of the event. There you will find a first hand account of a man called Pablo, who witnessed the burning alive of Molay and he says that as Molays burned, one could clearly see a third eye on his forehead.

[@d.st.2198]

The Sephardi prayer you played as a sample kind of sounds like a Muslim call to prayer that I have heard played from mosques. The Ashkenazi one sounds more like the song prayer you can hear in orthodox churches with the mellow melodic singing of the priest. That’s very fascinating to me.

[@znovosad555]

Orthodox Christian chants from the middle eastern regions also sound very similar. Christian, Jewish or Muslim. Greek is honestly an in between of middle eastern style and other traditional Eastern European chants.

Worked in a Kosher meat kitchen for many years. My female boss was Ashkenazi while my male boss said he was Sephardic but now I realize he was Mizrachi. Loved the food, particularly matzoh ball soup and gefilte fish with white horseradish (didn't like it with the red). My male boss would occasionally make us spicy shakshuka and it was delicious. Discovered I love Jewish food. Found out while I was working there that my father's biological father was a converted Ashkenazi Jew. My father was adopted. For a little while I thought my love of Jewish food might be genetic but realized it was awesome food and who wouldn't like it? The cuisine was predominantly Ashkenazi with a few Sephardic dishes tossed in. Learned how to make awesome matzoh balls that were light and airy. Would love some now!

Thank you for sharing knowledge of two of Judaism's communities. This is a respectful and loving homage to our history and our living culture. Given the diversity even within smaller groups of Sefardi or Ashkenazi communities, this is an overview that is general enough to include everyone, while still sharing enough details to be informative.

[@askorutin2576]

Does this division have anything to do with sedentary vs. nomadic origins? Sephardi lived among nomadic Arabs and Turks while Ashkenazi learned how to till land from their Slavic neighbors.

[@missl1775]

@@askorutin2576 Honestly, that's above my pay grade, history-wise. I've learnt more about Ashkenazi "nomadic" life, moving from country to country to escape Christian prosecution. It's entirely possible that the differences in climate, leading to different cultures in the various host countries Jews lived in, played a part in our traditions. One random fact I remember is that some Jewish traditions consider watering down wine to be good, even meaningful, while in other communities it's frowned upon and can make the wine too dilute for ritual use. Why? Because the former groups came from sunnier climates with better developed grapes that had more sugar, and therefore, more alcoholic wines. To get through a Pesach Seder in a Mediterranean country, you needed to dilute the wine. In cooler climates, the grapes weren't as sweet and didn't produce as strong an alcohol

[@askorutin2576]

@@missl1775 I’m thinking less of food differences and more of civilizational differences. For example, ashkenazi live in kibbutzim which are very similar to a Slavic village in terms of ownership of property, interactions between neighbors, etc. Sephardim live in moshavs that are different in structure, ownership and business ventures, more similar to Turks.

[@missl1775]

@@askorutin2576 Sounds like you know more about this than I do. It would be a fascinating topic to research. I think it's going to inherently be tied to antisemitism and laws around land ownership and where Jews were allowed to live in those countries. Even after the laws were repealed, communities tended to keep to whatever felt safest, and what emigration opportunities were available and at what points in history, when talking about settling in Israel. I think kibbutz compared to moshav is overgeneralizing a little, but maybe not.

As an Orthodox Christian, in the US, I found this extremely informative and frankly relatable. Everyone always assumes I’m Greek, people are afraid to say Russian but that’s my ethnic heritage yes. But it’s for everyone and the major reason for Russian Orthodox, vs Greek Orthodox, vs antiochian orthodox, etc, is quite literally practical reasons to their respective home country ethnic heritages. Even in the US, while still holding onto some of the ethnic heritages of the home country like food, or even the style of chanting, there’s a massive shift of just being Orthodox Christian. Vespers and Liturgy is done in English, and it’s not being viewed as just orthodox Christianity. We’re all the eastern church. And while splits do certainly occur, one’s like Russia and Greece currently are merely political. Doctrine wise they’re both Eastern Orthodox. The Oriental Orthodox fall separate however and that is doctrine base.
