Where have sephardic jews live?

Answer 1

Originally from Spain, the term 'Sephardi' comes from the ancient Jewish name for Spain which was 'Sepharad'. Today, Spanish Jews are not the only ones considered Sephardi, Portugese, Italian, and Moroccan Jews are also considered so.

Answer 2

Sefardic Jews come from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). The term originates from the Hebrew word for Spain :sefarad. A language associated with them is ladino. Their customs differ from the Jews living in Germany termed the Ashkenazim Jews.

Answer 3

As shown by DNA studies, all Jewish communities come from the Middle East originally. Later, during the Middle Ages the Sephardim were the Jewish communities in the Mediterranean area (Spain, North Africa) and points east of it, while the Ashkenazim were to the north in France, Germany, Russia and Eastern Europe. This variety of locales has led to some differences in customs, but not in the Torah-laws themselves.
