The absence of mention of #DNA haplogroups is even stranger in this piece, as
1) It notes limits of early work on the so-called Cohen Modal Haplotype, which involves Y-DNA
2) Whereas #Ashkenazic & #Sephardic Cohanim share similar #genetic traits, over half of Ashkenazic Levites display an unusual haplotype (formerly R1a1a, now called R1a-Y2619). So haplotypes are central to this genetic quest

My very Ashkenazic boyfriend wore this t-shirt to my Sephardic family's reunion this weekend. The shirt was a big hit there. 😆

Early classical music? Folk music? or World music?
Just for fun, in what category do we put this music?

Speaking of #Sephardic Jews and the #Holocaust, I cannot fail to mention the great #Israeli musician Yehuda Poliker.
http://awiderbridge.org/yehuda-poliker/
The son of #Greek survivors of #Auschwitz, he
created the greatest disc of Holocaust music ever (if that's a thing):
"Ashes and Dust"
The songs deal both with the Holocaust and with the survivors and their descendants
A few samples will follow.

#Sephardic #Hanukkah #FunFact: We don’t sing Ma’oz Tzur! The now standard song sung after the lighting the Menora is 100% Ashkenazi.
Sepharadim actually have a song called The Festival of the Maccabees composed by Turkish Chief Rabbi Haim Bejarano. Link: https://zemirot.org/cat/all-songs/prayer-cycle/hanukkah/

People sometimes ask me what's the weirdest thing I've ever found in an #archive. I once found a porn magazine cutting (in a folder from the 1930s) and a friend stumbled upon a letter bomb, undetonated but duly filed.
Here's an absurd highlight from the #Jerusalem Municipality Archive: A short note from the #Sephardic Cheif Rabbi to the #Saudi Consul in #Palestine, conveying his best wishes to the King for the 1942 Christmas holidays. Of course, neither of them celebrated Christmas!
Why on earth would a rabbi send Christmas greetings to the Arab world's most conservative muslim state? I'm open to theories.
Happy holidays, be that #Christmas or #Hannukah!

A "rerun" from the Between Wanderings blog:
"Eighteen Sephardic/Ladino proverbs." I quite like the saying "If your enemy is an ant, make him a camel when you tell the story."

A "rerun" from the Between Wanderings blog:
"1904, Ladino in Izmir: 'Is it true that what we speak is a European language?'"
Excerpts of letters from the early 1900s written by Rafael Cohen—a Turkish Sephardic Jew in Smyrna (now Izmir)—about Jewish life in his city. He was a language teacher who also worked for the Turkish Jewish newspaper "El Messeret."
