areivem ze”lo”ze–this is my pronuncation-respecting my ashkenazi roots.
The truth is that we are all getting farmisht here. there was a time when Poilisher would never marry a Hungarian and for an Ashkenazi to marry a Sefardi was unheard. Very happily, these prejudices are gradually leaving us….
All of us have something to contribute- the litvishe their learning, the chassdim their “lebedikheit’, the sefardim, their piety, the yekkers, their “cuisine”. oops, that cannot be true, so the yekkers their “yashrus” and the sabras their courage !
