Torah belongs to ALL jews
Give it to poor Jews
They= Misnagdim
Really? You’re kidding me. But I do believe that with all the pogroms against Ashkenazie Jews , there is a theory that their fathers are Ukrainians, hence Uman.
Firstly less then 50% is pretty good, but don’t know who set the standard at 50%.
Secondly I would tend to agree with akuperma that maybe no more than 5% of Ashkenazim don’t wear tefillin, BUT the interesting fact is that less then 1% of Ashkenazi women do wear teffilin and 0% of Separadic women wear teffilin. Something to think about. 🙂
We don’t really know, it’s all conjecture, but I would bet that at least 1% of Ashkenzi WOMEN wear tefflin and 0% Separadic Women.
Just Saying
I think you are all missing the point . The Separadim always wore a head cover like the Ashkenazim. The traditional Sepahadim ( not necessarily observant) wear it occasionally out of respect befitting the situation. However there are no traditional Ashkenazim at least in North America and thus they don’t cover their head at all. It’ s one extreme or the other.
There is a kollel at Stirling and 46th in Hollywood.
