	Judaism 101: Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews
		Ashkenazic Jews are the Jews of France, Germany, and Eastern Europe and their descendants.
		Most of the rest are Ashkenazic, descended from Jews who came to the Holy Land (then controlled by the Ottoman Turks) instead of the United States in the late 1800s, or from Holocaust survivors, or from other immigrants who came at various times.
		In the Christian lands where Ashkenazic Judaism flourished, the tension between Christians and Jews was great, and Jews tended to be isolated from their non-Jewish neighbors, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

		This resulted in a high incidence of genetic diseases that are characteristic of "Ashkenazic Jews," or rather, sub-populations of Ashkenazic Jews.
		However in modern Hebrew there is no detectable difference in standard pronunciation of taf with or without a dot, and therefore Histadruth and Histadrut, Rehovoth and Rehovot are all acceptable.

	A Guide to Hebrew Transliteration
		Although scholarly academic writings generally follow a standardized system of rendering Hebrew sounds and letters into Latin letters (i.e., the alphabets used in English and other European languages), many of the works that you will be consulting do not reflect this system, especially in editions that are aimed at traditional Jewish audiences.
		In Ashkenazic writings it is used to represent the aspirated "h" that is usually written in scientific writings as "h" with a dot underneath.
		The "ghayin" is not represented in standard Hebrew notation, and merges with the "‘ayin".

		Micrographic ornamentation in the Hebrew books written in the Iberian Peninsula usually consisted of elaborate carpet pages placed at the beginning and ending of the manuscript and at the main divisions of the biblical text.
		It is appropriate that a culture that has long emphasized the significance of the Hebrew word would foster a distinctive transformation of script into a unique decorative art.
		To this day, the art of Hebrew micrography is still practiced and the metamorphosis of text into image remains an unbroken Jewish artistic tradition across the centuries.

		However, as Hebrew literacy declined, particularly after the Romans expelled the Jews from Israel, the rabbis recognized the need for aids to pronunciation, so they developed a system of dots and dashes called nikkudim (points).
		In Ashkenazic pronunciation (the pronunciation used by many Orthodox Jews and by older Jews), Tav also has a soft sound, and is pronounced as an "s" when it does not have a dagesh.
		These Hebrew fonts map to ASCII 224-250, high ASCII characters which are not normally available on the keyboard, but this is the mapping that most Hebrew websites use.

		Biblical Hebrew (the dialect most of the Tanach is written in) had approximately 36 sounds (or according to some opinions 41 sounds).

		The first joyful task to be performed is that of giving your daughter a Jewish (Hebrew, Yiddish or Ladino) name.
		It is said that in ancient times one of the reasons the Jews were redeemed from Egypt was because they did not give up their Hebrew names.
		Ashkenazic Jews (usually of Eastern or Central European descent) traditionally name their daughters after someone who has passed on, thereby honoring the memory of the departed; Sephardic Jews (usually of Western European or Middle Eastern descent) traditionally name their daughters after living grandparents.

		Hence, one major venue for the birth of the Ashkenazic people would have to be in the contemporary Belarusian and Ukrainian lands, where an indigenous Slavic-speaking Jewry (as best established by the facts of Yiddish) could only be derived from the Turko-Iranian-speaking Khazars.
		I wonder if the Slavic-speaking descendants of the Khazars, who presumably shared a common culture with their non-Jewish neighbors, may have regarded Yiddish (and Ashkenazic culture in general?), in periods that prized a heightened ethno-religious identity, as a tool for accentuating the growing differences between themselves and the coterritorial Slavs who were gradually undergoing Christianization.
		Most Hebrew verbal material reaches Yiddish in the form of the masculine singular participle, which becomes indeclinable in Yiddish and must be conjugated periphrastically by means of one of two German auxiliary verbs.
