To the west the area stretches to the borders with Luxemburg, Belgium and the Netherlands; on the eastern side it only encompasses the towns and cities along the river. Except for the Saar this area more or less corresponds with the modern in the north. Ashkenaz is the medieval Hebrew name for this region and thus for Germany. Thus, Ashkenazim or Ashkenazi Jews are literally "German Jews." Later, Jews from Western and Central Europe came to be called "Ashkenaz" because the main centers of Jewish learning were located in Germany. (See Usage of the name Sephardi Jews, Mizrahi Jews, and other Jewish ethnic divisions for the term's etymology.)

It corresponds to Semitic and Hamitic (descendants of Ham). Variations of the term include Japhetite and Japhethitic patriarch Originally a patriarch was a man who exercised autocratic authority as a pater familias over an extended family. The system of such rule of families by senior males is called patriarchy. This is a Greek word, a composition of πατήρ meaning "father" and ἄρχων (archon) meaning "leader", "chief", "ruler& in the Table of Nations The Table of Nations or Sons of Noah is an extensive list of descendants of Noah appearing within the Torah at Genesis 10, representing an ethnology from an Iron Age Levantine perspective (Genesis 10).

The common ancestor of all the languages in this branch is Proto-Germanic, spoken in approximately the mid-1st millennium BC in Iron Age northern Europe.

Table 1a.PDF influence (see Jewish language Jewish languages are a set of languages and dialects that developed in various Jewish communities around the world, more notably in Europe, West Asia, and North Africa. The usual course of development for these languages was through the addition of Hebrew words and phrases, used to express uniquely Jewish concepts and concerns, to the local). It had developed in medieval times as the lingua franca A lingua franca is a language systematically used to communicate between persons not sharing a mother tongue, in particular when it is a third language, distinct from both persons' mother tongues among Ashkenazi Jews. The Jewish communities of three cities along the Rhine, Speyer, Worms and Mainz Mainz (French: Mayence) is a city in Germany and the capital of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The SHUM-cities are considered the cradle of the distinct Ashkenazi culture and liturgy A liturgy is the customary public worship done by a specific religious group, according to its particular traditions. The word, which especially among Protestants is sometimes rendered by its English translation "service", may refer to an elaborate formal ritual such as the Eastern Orthodox Divine Liturgy and Catholic Mass, or a daily.
Although in the 11th century they comprised only 3 percent of the world's Jewish population Jewish population refers to the number of Jews in the world. Precise figures are difficult to calculate because the definition of "Who is a Jew" remains a source of controversy, Ashkenazi Jews accounted for (at their peak) 92 percent of the world's Jews in 1931 and today make up approximately 80 percent of Jews worldwide.[5] Most Jewish communities with extended histories in Europe are Ashkenazim, with the exception of those associated with the Mediterranean The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by the Mediterranean region and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Anatolia and Europe, on the south by Africa, and on the east by the Levant.

The majority of the Jews who migrated from Europe to other continents in the past two centuries are Ashkenazim, Eastern Ashkenazim Yiddish dialects are subsets of the major regional branches of the Yiddish language: Western Yiddish and Eastern Yiddish.

Q. I just found out that most of the Persian Jews are called Sephardi Jews. Is it accepted for an Ashkenazi Jew to marry a Sephardi Jew ? Thanks :)
Asked by Melanie - Mon Jan 14 18:11:10 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It is absolutely accepted for an Askhenasi Jew to marry a Persian Jew. The resulting family will take on the traditions of the husband, as these traditions are carried on through the father. (When a Sephardi man marries an Ashkenasi woman, the kids take on Sephardi customs, and vice-versa.) The prayerbooks/liturgy is different, but similar. There are some dietary differences, but they are mostly minor. Except for passover, we eat freely at each other's houses, despite the (again I'm stressing minor) differences in how the dietary laws are observed.
