Are there any others I should be aware of? Thank you in advance for your time. However, "Sephardim" is a broad category that includes women from many different countries with different customs. Therefore, if trying to determine the correct behavior for a particular woman, it is best to ask a rabbi from the relevant community or provide us with more details. Furthermore, when dealing with a marriage of a couple of different ethnic backgrounds, there is room for asking questions as to which customs a wife must follow and which she can choose to do differently.

Some had been state officials, others had held positions of dignity within the Church; many had been the heads of large banking-houses and mercantile establishments, and some were physicians or scholars who had officiated as teachers in high schools. The Sephardim rarely engaged in chaffering occupations nor in usury, and they did not often mingle with lower classes. With their social equals they associated freely, without regard to

    http://www.jewish-food.org/recipes/sefacho2.htm
    
    Extractions: SEPHARDI CHOLENT Yield: 15-20 servings Peel and dice pototoes into 1/2- inch chunks; place in pot. Add 2 quarts water, all spices and oil. Use less oil if meat is fatty. Bring to boil. Add beans, meat. Simmer. Allow most of the water to be aborbed by the beans and then add more water (approximately 2 quarts) and the barley. Simmer, adding water as needed. Total time on stove is 2 hours or so. Since its Thursday night when I do this, I place this in the fridge, and then in the oven on Friday night, until lunchtime on Saturday, but the cholent is edible after the first 2-3 hours of cooking (and excellent on Friday night). For variety, add 3-4 hot dogs, cut up, and kishke (use a half a kishke, unsliced). Another variation is to add 1 cup tomato sauce. This can easily be made parve with parve hot dogs, parve kishke, no meat. Also, since you are cooking it one day ahead, you can season it to taste; you can use less salt and oil if desired. The amount of beans and barley is flexible too, just add enough water to simmer it. If putting it in the oven Friday afternoon, add 1 cup more water at that point. NOTE: You will note that there is no garlic or onion in it.

    Extractions: For others, this said freedom is altogether different. As evidenced by the campaign slogans in the recent election of the Meretz and Shinui parties - "government without the haredim" - these words mean to free the country's government from the flavour of traditional Judaism. In short, if Israel is the democracy that it claims to be, let it be a full one, patterned after western democracies. For us North Americans, religious freedom is pretty much a given. You could even say it's something we take for granted. The path to our religious freedom was paved with a simple premise that our country would clearly separate church and state. All citizens can enjoy freedom of religion no matter what their religion may be because the government is a secular institution. The nation has (officially, at least) no state religion. Hence, all its citizens are able to choose their own faith. Certainly, this system works well for us in North America. It is not the concern of the government what our religion is, or how we practise it. Lifecycle events such as birth, marriage, divorce and burial are a matter of simple (bureaucratic) civil registration. All citizens must fulfil their legal civic duties. But after this is done, the way we deal with these events is wholly of our own choosing.

    Extractions: old traditions, new customs The first time Israeli poet Ronny Someck sold a piece to a local literary publication, it appeared with his last name misspelled. Yet, instead of being upset over the byline mishap, Someck was relieved. "I didn't want my friends to know I wrote the poem," recalled Someck, who, at the time, was more concerned with protecting his former image as a tough 16-year-old center on the Macabee basketball team. "Back then it was like I was two men living in the same body. One was this sensitive guy who wrote poetry...and the other this hard, macho basketball player," said the now older, wiser and internationally known poet. Someck was in the Bay Area Nov. 1-6 on a lecture tour as the first scholar-in-residence this year for the Israel Center of the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation's "Art and Politics" series. Taking time out of his hectic schedule and speaking in a heavy Sephardi accent, Someck revealed that, decades later, he still remembers how ashamed he was to tell his friends about the big box full of poems he had written and kept safely stashed away in his room.

Sephardic has come to mean almost any Jew who is not Ashkenazi, however this is erroneous. Although there are wide cultural divergences within the Sephardic world, common liturgy and religious customs constitute underlying factors of unity. The academic term is that Sephardim are the Jews from Iberia (Spain and Portugal). The plural term is Sephardim; the singular is "Sephardi." The Hebrew "Sephardi" or "Sepharadi" refers either to a single Iberian Jew. Where does the name originate from?

    Extractions: In 657, when Ali ibn AbuTalib – the fourth Caliph to rule after the death of Mohammed – extended the Muslim conquest into Iraq, he was greeted wholeheartedly by the Jews there, then the most important of the world’s Jewish communities. Ali saw the Jews of Iraq as a natural ally and granted them autonomy. This was the dawn of a new era of Jewish cultural creativity, one that lasted almost 600 years and was central in the development of Judaism. The Academies of Babylon Jewish life in Iraq (Babylon) focused on the yeshivot (religious academies). At the beginning of the new era, the academies were in the final process of editing the Babylonian Talmud – a colossal work of discourses on almost every dicipline, accumulated over the previous four centuries. From this point on, the Rabbis would relate to the Talmud as a closed text (even though, for the most part, it did not appear as a written book for some centuries). The headmasters of these yeshivot were called Geonim , and their eminence was such that the first half of the classic Muslim era is referred to as the Geonic period (mid-7th century to mid-11th century) in Jewish history, a period which spans the entire Abbassid dynasty.

The last several months have seen enormous change at the Midrash. Firstly, with gratitude to Providence, the Great Neck, NY branch of Midrash BEN ISH HAI is witnessing substantial growth. Shabbath services every week are now held by the Midrash in Great Neck, as well as classes, lectures and community functions for young and old (see inside). All this has been done quietly, with the minimum of fuss, which is the hallmark of the Midrash and the direction we have obtained over the years from our Hakham and spiritual leader Rabbi Ya’aqob Menashe. The Midrash in Queens, NY continues to flourish and spread out into new directions with its members taking a more actively direct role in its running. Indeed, new classes and activities are being provided, including a new class for young children. This is in addition to the daily services and other ongoing activities.

    Extractions: Nidhe Israel, Barbados Barbados is an Island of the former British West Indies, in the Windward Group. Colonised is 1625. It is probable that Jews were amongst the earliest settlers on the Island. Schromburgk asserts that the first Jews arrived in 1628. There exists a letter from one Abraham Yakob to the earl of Carlisle, the owner of the island, dated London, Sept. 22 1628, where he complains that the island business was exceedingly unprofitable. As late as 1844 a tombstone was standing in the congregational cemetery bearing the date 1658, though the name was obliterated. Upon petition, the Jews of the island in were granted on August 12, 1656, the enjoyment of "the privileges of Laws and Statutes of ye Commonwealth of England and of this island, relating to foreigners and strangers" From 1661, more definite data exists. On April 8 of that year, Benjamin de Caseres, Henry de Caseres, and Jacob Fraso petitioned the king to let them live and trade in Barbados and Surinam. As their petition is also supported by the King of Denmark, they were probably not residents of England. They would have been prohibited by the Navigation Act from trading in the English plantations.

79. Rosenthaliana: Sephardi Rabbis In Jerusalem On Modern Agricultural Settlements
    19 April 1883 sephardi rabbis in Jerusalem on modern agriculturalsettlements. THROUGHOUT THE AGES the Jews in the Land of Israel  
    http://cf.uba.uva.nl/nl/publicaties/treasures/text/t45.html
    
    Extractions: Sephardi rabbis in Jerusalem on modern agricultural settlements THROUGHOUT THE AGES the Jews in the Land of Israel were helped by an organized and well-established system for raising money among the Jews of the Diaspora. An important organization active in this field during the nineteenth century was the Amsterdam-based Pekidim and Amarcalim ('Officers and Treasurers'). It maintained diverse links with the leadership of the Jewish communities in the holy towns of Hebron, Jerusalem, Safed and Tiberias. I have been able to study some of the letters received by this institution and now kept in the Rosenthaliana collection. These letters reveal the attitudes of the rabbis of the Sephardi Jewish community concerning the idea of working the land and the new settlements. Research has generally concentrated on letters written by the Ashkenazi rabbis about this subject. Contrary to expectations, the opinions of the Sephardi rabbis are largely identical to those of the Ashkenazim. From the letters we discover the reasons for their reservations in supporting the new settlements. The question was raised whether Pekidim and Amarcalim should change its policy of only supporting Jews devoting themselves entirely to the study of the Torah and start collecting contributions for the new settlements. In order to reach a decision, they asked the opinions of leaders of the veteran communities in Eretz Israel. In their replies the rabbis presented the positive aspects of 'working the Land' since it encompassed the fulfilment of a religious commandment based on three fundamental principles:

    http://cf.uba.uva.nl/nl/publicaties/treasures/text/t15.html
    
    Extractions: A show of hands by the Sephardi writing-master lehudah Machabeu ACCORDING TO A Middelburg school ordinance of 1591, the first to be printed in the young Dutch Republic, schoolmasters had to show their qualifications publicly in a caerte or monster , a sheet of parchment or paper hung on a clearly visible place or stuck on to a signboard. Since foreign correspondence had to be written in the scripts (or hands) and languages of the countries concerned, scribes had to prove their penmanship with an exemplar leaf showing all the hands at their command. The practice was not a novel one, as celebrated examples from earlier times show. A number of these exemplar leaves have been preserved from the seventeenth century, in addition to a great many manuscript or copper-engraved copy books and other specimens of calligraphy and proficiency from an age when calligraphy flourished in the Republic. The exemplar leaf opposite fits into this tradition. Written in brown iron gall ink on the hairside of the parchment, it measures 353 by 249 mm. A hole in the righthand lower half has been restored with a strip of paper on the back, resulting in some loss of text, and the ink has faded or has worn in some places. Pinholes in the outer margin indicate that the leaf may have been attached to some kind of board. It therefore probably functioned as an actual notice and was not simply commissioned by some amateur de la plume -or collector of calligraphy. In any event, our exemplar leaf has withstood the wear and tear of time remarkably well. As can be read in the left-hand bottom corner of the central rectangle, the exemplar was completed at La Rochelle on the French Atlantic coast, half-way between Nantes and Bordeaux, on 21 June 1655 by Iehudah Machabeu. The leaf offers a genuine show of hands with no fewer than twelve four- to six-line texts of a religious nature in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, Gothic and Humanist scripts. The central rectangle is surrounded by a linear frame and subdivided into four compartments by rules. Above are French and Italian texts, both in Italian hands (the
