Reply To: Are there fewer Sephardi shuls on the East Coast?

So to answer the original question off the top of my head I counted over 65 Sephardic shuls just in Flatbush
And to resolve this argument I would add that the sepharadim never got affected by the haskala and therefore you could easily see that a Sephardic guy that goes off the D would possibly have a lot of complaints and anger towards Hashem where in most cases where an Ashkenazi guy goes off he just denies the existence of Hashem. This makes it easier for the sepharadi guy to come back to the one he had taynos on, where the Ashkenazi guy totally removed Hashem from existence.
