I don't know where my first post went !!!???? Never mind.......
Huh??
I know this is Chat and humorous, but for your edification:
Ashkenazi
Orientation in Judaism, developing in the central, northern and eastern part of Europe, contrary to Judaism developing in the Iberian peninsula and North Africa called Sephardi. Today, Judaism is often defined into more groups, but the Ashkenazi-Sephardic is relevant in many fields: identity, different synagogues and politics. The name "askhenaz" was the name that the Jews themselves used for Germany, a name taken from Genesis 10:3.
