Thanks a lot Crewman
I did a little searching and found some amazing sites that I got lost in about Jewish History and of course the Holocaust. Harsh history...
but a tidbit I picked up somewhere on was that apparently "Sephardic Jews" relates back to Portugal and Spain ... I believe the 1700's. I have to research a little more to clarify and/or verify all of this. Maybe I'll discover that it's MY family that has the Holy Grail too?
If this is all true then I shall have to insist on circumcision and bar mittzvahs all round for the family ... males only of course.
At any rate, this has all been interesting ...
