Title: Does my grandfather look more Ashkenazi or Sefaradi?
Post by: ProudAndZionist on February 23, 2009, 01:29:21 PM: Shalom,

I have a question. Here is a photo of my Jewish grandfather, and he is Askenazi-Sephard mix (If I know well, he has sephard relatives too, not only Askenazis) what about his look?

Does he look more Ashkenazi or Sefaradi?

Hmm...

Post by: Lisa on February 23, 2009, 04:55:20 PM: I really don't think it's a good idea to post pictures of your family here. You just never know who's lurking around. So I really recommend that you remove it. If you really want the opinion of other members, I suggest you just send a private message to people here you trust.

Post by: P J C on February 23, 2009, 07:23:28 PM: Lisa is right, it is not good to post any personal pictures. That can cause some problems for you.

Post by: Lisa on February 23, 2009, 07:36:29 PM: Proud Zionist, I strongly advise you to remove the picture of your grandfather. We had a problem a few months ago where pictures of some of our members were posted on nazi web sites. I don't want the same thing happening to your grandfather. So please take it down immediately.
