    Extractions: Sephardim by Rebecca Weiner The descendants of Jews who left Spain or Portugal after the 1492 expulsion are referred to as Sephardim. The word "Sephardim" comes from the Hebrew term for Spain, Sepharad , used in the Bible It is believed that Jews have lived in Spain since the era of King Solomon (c.965-930 B.C.E.). Little information can be found on these Jews until the beginning of the first century. We do know that in 305 CE, the Council of Toledo passed an edict forbidding Jews from blessing the crops of non-Jews and prohibiting Jews and non-Jews from eating together. In 409 CE, the Visigoths (Aryan Christians) conquered Spain and treated the Jews harshly. A canon was passed in 589 prohibiting the marriage of Jews and non-Jews. In 612, the Council of Toledo ordered the baptism of all Jews to take place with the next year. The practice of Judaism was outlawed in the Visigoth kingdom. The situation improved in 711 when Spain fell under the rule of the Muslim Moors. Both

    Extractions: Usenet FAQs Search Web FAQs ... RFC Index Answer: Traditional Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews agree that the oral and written Torah are from G-d, and that the sages may rule on halachic matters. The differences in practice are mostly in culture and customs. Traditional and liberal Jews disagree on the Divine origin of the oral and written Torah, and on the ability of present-day sages and secular scholars to overrule earlier halachic decisors. Also, Sephardic Jews tend not to separate along "denominational" lines, but rather "observant" and "non-observant."

    Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition In the strictest sense, a Sephardi Hebrew Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family. What makes it unique, is that the original Bible, the Torah, recorded in the times of Moses 3,300 years ago, was written in Biblical Classical Hebrew. Jews had always called it the Lashon HaKodesh ("The Holy Tongue") since it was chosen to convey God's message to humanity. With the rise of the Mishnah for 2,500 years Hebrew was used mostly for study of the Bible and Mishnah, and for ceremony, and prayer, but it was reborn as a spoken language during the 20th century as Modern Hebrew, replacing Arabic, Ladino, Yiddish and other languages of the Jewish diaspora as the spoken language of the majority of the Jewish people living in Israel.

    Extractions: Israel: Religion and Society Sephardim pride themselves on the fact that there has been no religious reformation in their historical experience to divide "Orthodox" and "Liberal" Jews. Consequently, however individual Sephardim chose to practice their Judaism, they stayed within a common fold because they are not ideologically bound to make clear-cut divisions. In any Sephardic synagogue anywhere in the world, one can find a wide mix of worshippers and a wide range of patterns of religious observance, from the very Orthodox who even imitate Ashkenazi Orthodox dress patterns to the moderately traditional who enjoy the occasional spiritual experience. Sephardim are noted for and pride themselves on being less fanatic than Ashkenazim in virtually all matters, especially religion. They certainly are not among the militant, black garbed Jews who throw stones at vehicles on the Sabbath and refuse to serve in the army. Sephardim are often bewildered by the Ashkenazic pursuit of humrot (new and more difficult halakhic refinements), because they have traditionally sought to balance the requirements of observance with those of living in order to achieve a form of religious expression that takes into consideration the whole human being, to encourage and cultivate the range of human attributes.

    Extractions: Jews and Arabs at the Dialogue in Toledo, Spain On July 3-4, 1989, I attended a conference on "Jews of the Orient and Palestinians: A Dialogue for Arab-Israeli Peace" sponsored by the Foundation for Peace Studies and International Relations (FEPRI), a Spanish academic institute, and held in Toledo, a famed seat of that special Jewish-Muslim-Christian synthesis which characterized the Golden Age of Spain. (The organizers and most of the participants were under the misapprehension that the Jews' golden age in Toledo occurred under Muslim rule. In fact, it came after the Christian reconquest of the city when Jews fled to Toledo to escape the persecutions of the Muslim fundamentalists who had seized power in Andalusia). In organizing the conference, FEPRI was assisted by two French Sephardic groups. One, Perspectives Judeo-Arabes, is a left-wing group whose prominent personality is Simone Bitton, an Israeli of Moroccan background who left Israel twelve years ago to live in Paris. The other, Identite et Dialog, is a more moderate group that seeks dialogue with the Palestinians without in any respect denying the authenticity of Jewish peoplehood, Zionism, and the Jewish claim to Israel. Its president is Andre Azoulay, originally from Morocco. They were assisted in mobilizing an Israeli delegation by Shlomo Elbaz of HaMizrach el HaShalom (East for Peace), a moderate Sephardi peace organization in Israel. On the Arab side, the PLO provided a delegation.

    Extractions: By Avi Shlush, Secretary-General, World Sephardi Federation, Jerusalem The World Sephardi Federation was founded in 1925 at the international convention of Sephardi Jews held in Vienna, prior to the 14th Zionist Congress. The initiative behind its establishment came from the heads of the Sephardi and Oriental communities in Palestine, who, together with the heads of the Sephardi communities in the Balkan countries and central Europe, set up the world union of Sephardi Jews. Moshe Pichotto was chosen as the first president of the union, whose center was set in Jerusalem. In a unanimous resolution, it was declared that the establishment of this union was essential for the Zionist movement, in order to build the land with the cooperation of all the Jewish communities. In the words of the Rabbi Ben Zion Meir Chai Ouziel: "These Jews must be awakened from their slumber and be brought into the work of our rebirth. This is possible only by creating a strong world Sephardi union with a certain plan." In the 1920's and 1930's, the heads of the Federation devoted their energies to representing the Sephardi communities within the world Zionist Organization, the Jewish Agency, Keren Hayesod and leadership of the Yishuv. They dealt with matters of aliyah, absorption and settlement, but didn't succeed in one of their main targets Sephardim being accepted as

    Extractions: The World Sephardi Federation was born to fulfill a just case, answer a moral need and keep alive a magnificent tradition. We all know that the state of Israel is the culmination of thousands of years dreaming and yearning. All Jews, wherever they lived, prayed that one day people of Zion, will assemble together in their homeland in Eretz Israel. The Zionist revolution pushed the Jewish fervour to its limits. The idea of gathering the dispersed Jews in one homeland seemed to many, Jews and Gentiles alike, as an hallucination if not a delusion of grandeur. What seemed even to Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, as an audacious adventure, succeeded in revolutionising the Jewish spirit which culminated in the establishment of the State of Israel. The truth has to be said. The embryonic Zionist Movement had been created by European Jews in order to bring to an end, endless persecutions and virulent anti-Semitism which had been ubiquitous since the end of the 19th century. As years went by and as the Zionist Movement accumulated popularity, Sephardi Jews joined in. They, too, prayed for Zion and yearned for the Messiah. Jewish communities throughout the Arab countries were caught in frenzy by the call to gather in Eretz Israel. Unlike their brethren in European countries, Sephardi Jews led a peaceful coexistence with their Arab neighbors. They enjoyed relative prosperity and freedom of practicizing their faith. Nevertheless, they had been living like in a corridor, waiting and praying for the day they will gather in one Jewish nation, in the promised land.

    Extractions: This village, now about 4 km. South of Amsterdam is situated at the spot where the stream called Bullewijk runs into the river Amstel. Since 1614 it is the cemetery of the Portugees-Israelietische Gemeente of Amsterdam, the Sephardim who since their first settling in the low countries after the expulsion fom Spain and Portugal, finally were able to buy land nearer to Amsterdam, the largest community in the Netherlands. The Municipality of the city had not and still did not at that time, allow them to buy land within the city boundaries. Up to this time they had to bury their dead in Groet near Alkmaar. It is the burialplace of Menasseh ben Israel and the father of Baruch de Spinosa amongst many other wellknown Sephardim. Of great and peculiar interest are the sculptured gravestones, which strictly speaking are not allowed and could be considered an anomaly in this orthodox cemetery. With their background and in view of the countries where the Dutch Sephardi had lived, the decorations of the stones with people and angels become understandable.

This sector of the population of the capital city is hardly known, rarely heard from, but centrally important. Originally, after the Spanish expulsion of 1492, there was a Sephardi aristocracy in Safed, but it disappeared as Safeds stature dwindled. Economic deterioration, earthquakes, epidemics, and Arab riots were all factors leading to the population moving towards Jerusalem. For centuries, most of Jerusalems population was Sephardi. For example, the Parnas and Meyuchas families can trace their lineage in Jerusalem to the early post-Spanish expulsion period. A good part of the Sephardi population of Jerusalem traces its origins to the Balkans. Most of these people migrated from what is present-day Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece from the early 19th century until the end of the 1930s. Who exactly are these aristocrats? Today, most are well into their 80s and 90s in age. They come from elite families, such as Eliashar, Navon, Valero, Chinaeo, Benveniste, Mani, Kastel, and others. Their ancestors were wealthy bankers, entrepreneurs, merchants, rabbis, local communal leaders, and well-respected citizens in non-Jewish official circles, having valuable diplomatic connections with foreign governments.

Rabbi Amar was sent by then Interior Minister Eli Yishai to Ethiopia to meet with the Falash Mura community there. He subsequently recommended that they undergo conversion to revert to Judaism. In 2003 Rabbi Shlomo Amar was appointed Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel. E-mail to a friend Print the article Add to my bookmarks Feedback ... Use of cookies
