Ashkenazic and Sephardic
RationalThought110:
Why do some people still use these terms? Should they have any relevance today?
Could someone explain to me how "Ashkenazic" and "Sephardic" originated and how they differed in customs? Are there any good websites that explain this? I was looking at Chabad's site but, surprisingly, I couldn't find anything there about it. There's probably something there on that site so if someone finds it, let me know.
In Israel for example, shouldn't Jews be united as Jews rather than anyone thinking of themselves as part of some kind of sub-group? I don't think these so-called classifications are relevant anymore.

Jews in France and Germany were called Ashkenazim and developed The Ashkenazic Rite and Jews in Spain, Muslim, and Eastern countries developed The Sfardic/Mizrachi Rite. The Jews of Italy developed The Italian Rite and I think this most resembles The Land of Israel Rite, because The Italian Rite is the oldest Diaspora rite.

What were any of the differences among their customs?
