"Sephardi Jews, also known as Sephardic Jews, Sephardim,[a] or Hispanic Jews by modern scholars, are a Jewish ethnic division originating from traditionally established communities in the Iberian Peninsula (modern Spain and Portugal). The term "Sephardim" sometimes refers to Mizrahi Jews (Eastern Jewish communities) of Western Asia and North Africa. Although they have no ancestry back to the Jewish communities of Iberia, the vast majority of them adopted a Sephardic style of liturgy and Sephardic law and customs from the influence of the Iberian Jewish exiles over the course of the last few centuries. This article deals with Sephardim within the narrower ethnic definition." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.07.2021)
