Crazy Quote of the Day

[ruchel]

 Firstly, there has been the shocking - at least to idealists, like me, who believed (or wanted to) that they were living in a modern democratic Jewish state - case of charedi (ultra-Orthodox) Ashkenazim (Jews of European origin) segregating their daughters from charedi Sephardi/Mizrachi (of North African/Middle Eastern descent) girls, at a school in the West Bank town of Immanuel.

Now, lo and behold, Sefardim in Israel are really Ashkenazim! And to be Sefardic in Israel you have to NOT come from Sefard!
