They are also one of the Tribes of Israel, all are equal in that they are one of the 12 sons of Yaakov, and should always remember that.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-41588705865508330602009-12-17T00:36:02.424+02:002009-12-17T00:36:02.424+02:00When I came to E"Y, one of the most shocking ...When I came to E"Y, one of the most shocking things I came across was the flat-out rascist attitudes of otherwise nice, ehrlich Ashkenzim. Examples: Finding out if there are sfardim in a building before buying an apt. Not being interested in a school if they allow sfardim in. Making light of any psak by a sfardi Posek. Unfortunately, it seems the longer people have been in E"Y and the more Charedi-oriented they are, the more rascist their attitudes. I don't get it - what were the Rambam, Ritva, etc, and how many hundreds of hours have the typical Ashkenazi bochur spent 'horuving' over them? Would the Rambam be able to get his daughter into a Beis Yaakov? When I express horror at these opinions, the response is "oh, you have to live here longer to understand" - as if sinas chinam gets better with time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
