Is this ethno centric Sephardic only dating
White Israelite:
--- Quote from: RationalThought110 on June 12, 2007, 07:03:47 PM ---Why did Jews start getting classified as Sephardic or Ashkenazic and why do some people still use these classifications? I think it had to do with differences in culture among people living in different regions of Europe. But why did want some kind of a difference in culture?
Does this thread belong in the dating section?

Because there are some physical and cultural differences between the sephardic and ashkenazi.
although i'm a mix since my mothers German (ethnic) but my dads North African and Romanian (there was a large sephardic population there), I think I identify more as Sephardic. None of our family really ate "Ashkenazi" cuisine, I think couscous was more common at our dinner table.
Anyways, there are less Sephardic than Ashkenazi so I can understand why they want to stick together.

Lisa- stay with your own kind, I mean it. going for people with other cultures is difficult and hard to ajust, remember its not only you marrying your husband, your family also has to get along with him. Why would you want an Askenazi guy when their are many Persian Jewish men availabe. I personally would only go for a Bukharian Jewish girl, or a culturally Sefardic girl, and mayyyybe an askenazi girl if she is extremly attractive and overall a success (as if that type would go for me, but you never know)

We Jews are one people.. I hate when we enforce cultural divides, as if the Jewish heart can be divided. Sorry Ben Roshel, I want to agree with you, but cannot here. On another note, I am Ashkenazi, but find I am more culturally Persian/Sefardi./Mizrachi. I attend a Sefardic synagogue with an Ashkenazi rabbi. I don't want to marry an Ashkenazi woman, but would if I actually met one I liked. Maybe, its the fact I grew up with a very meshugah and dominating secular Ashkenazi mother and grandmother is why I fear to marry one.
