what are you???
JEWISH
rabbiofberlin is “all of the above”
Yekkish
ahkenaz, sephardic, chassidish, u name it!!
I’m “u name it”.
I am all the above as well. Half/breed.
syrian, if you ever meet rabbiofberlin you’ll realize that he can.
There’s “all of the above”, and then there is Joseph. So full of himself, there is no room for anything else.
I’m sephashkinaz
joseph who’s rabbi of berlin?
jewish,who tries to accept and love all jews.
Who say’s you can’t be all the above? My father is from the Mideast whose forefathers were from spain(Sephardi) My mother’s parents were from Hungary and Poland(Ashkenaz & Chassidish. (My mother was born in Germany after the war and lived in Israel for a time and then came to the States) I have the best of everything.
mazal77 that was a great answer- no matter what “sect” you consider yourself to be a part of, you are a jew just like the rest of us and essentially brothers and sisters, after all, we share a father… aside from sefardic and ashkenazic which is dependent on ancestry everythings relative as to what you consider yourself today does heimishe mean chassidish, yeshivish, or used in the denomination of homey or chilled out… anyone want to do an official YWN dictionary?
RY: another poster in the CR.
I always tell my kids, “I don’t care who you marry, as long as they are jewish”. I got a little of everything in me, maybe I should change my name to … any suggestions??
hmmmmm….i remember another thread like this in the cr!!!! i’m very jewish!!!
Well, after this long galus, I think we’re all mixed up!!!
lol anyone wanna try and figure me out? there’s no way… :}
brook first lets get to 1000 then post on other threads.
Hmm…let’s see, from my father’s side, I’m…I won’t give this away. You gotta figure it out yourself
Brook, are you persian??
mazal – not even close!
brook is Israeli.
lol i’m american. my grandparents are israeli and my father was born there.
but, that doesn’t say where my family is originally from and what minhagim i keep.
AND – most of my minhagim are actually from my mother’s side so i identify with them much more. now, where am i from? lol :}
brook, you speak with a sefardic/israeli havara.
oh do i? only sometimes. and ask syriansephardi – there are a million sects within the sfardi group.
okay, so which of the million do you belong to? (now don’t go denying the truth again…)
Brooklyn-Egypt?
I wouldn’t say a million sects in the syrian sephardi, Turkish, Moroccan, Lebanese, Persian, Egyptian and Syrian From Aleppo and Syrian from Damascus.
i like this topic- doesn’t HAVE to get controversial.
you will believe this- i’m as tzimisht as mazal77 (not as extreme, but close). and “Well, after this long galus, I think we’re all mixed up”- couldn’t agree more
now once again i will do some analyzing and guessing:
joseph, asdf, qwerty, moish01, squeak, RY, BYM are obviously ashkenazi
chacham is sephardi
Charlie Brown, Curious, bored@work and beacon are… American?
areivim – that must have been a very tough guess. Americna is not an exclusive description.
curious: what makes you exclusive?
areivim, you really want me to tell you why I’m exclusive? The list is mighty long!
BTW, I was sniffling cuz you left me single.
areivim u left me out????????
areivim – and i’m not zoche to be mentioned, or what???
mazal – you do know that Turkish, Moroccan, Lebanese, and Persian are not Syrian. and you missed out on Aden, Libya, Iraqi and probably some more.
veyatziv – i’m not egyptian
and Joseph – i thought you knew everything! apparently not… :}
Am I the only one who is Ashkenaz? Wow, I’m unique! 🙂
AL2 – ashkenaz or ashkeno??? lol there’s a difference in pronunciation.
im russian cha cha cha
Boy, I must be on “joseph’s mind these days….I have not “posted” much recently (some of us have jobs…) and I was idly leafing throught the new postings….and wonder above wonder, there is joseph, mentioning my name!
I think he is alluding to a remark made some time ago when I said (a bit facetiously) that I am ‘all of the above”. Actually, I am a mongrel, part galicianer, part hungarian, a pinch of yekkers and a dose of sefardim !
curious: i officially red the esteemed Rosh Yeshiva to Curious. and d’you know why? because of your persistence “behind every great man…”
all males please refrain from commenting regarding feminism
RY- are you maskim?
brook- i’ll tell u what. you reveal your age and origin and i’ll red you the “best boy in lakewood”
surfer- change your screen name to something very masculin and come back to me then. I’ll have a line up for you
MOD72: I DELETED 4 LINES ON THIS ONE- PROUD?
rabbi- you’re my kinda guy
there is no best boy in lakewood. you learn that with time. but i’ll take the second best! (maybe he’ll be for real!)
plus, i’d rather the best guy in the mir. why would i live in lakewood if yerushalayim’s an option???
im russain cha cha cha
woah i’m in sock. you could’ve fooled me, SY gal. i mean, between lachmagine, cancun and your nussach eidus mizrach i was CONVINCED you’re family is from poland…
areivem–what makes u think a guy?
