Talk:List of Caribbean Jews

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] non-Latin?

Why non-Latin? The early Caribbean Jewish communities were largely Sephardic. --Gruepig 06:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I think people have the idea that only Judahists directly from Spain/perhaps Portugal are Sepharadic. The Nederlander Jews were primarily descended from refugees from the Inquisition, plus a sizeable amount directly from the Mediterraenean. They are also Sepharadic. Karl Marx was also Sephardic, his mother was from Nederlander Jews. His father was from French Jews, also Sephardic, who became part of Prussia when it took over Alsace-Lorraine and then stripped Jews of any and all rights. JBDay 01:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
