| | Sephardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term Sephardi can also describe the (Hebrew language, "liturgical tradition") used by Sephardi Jews in their Siddur (prayer book). | | | In the vernacular of modern-day Israel, the word Sephardi has also come to include the immigrant Jewish communities that were indigenous to the various countries of the Near East, most notably those of the Yemen, Iraq and Iran who are now resident in Israel, and have no ancestral ties to Spain or Portugal. | | | Note that the term Nusach Sepharad does not refer to the liturgy generally recited by Sephardim, but rather to an alternative European liturgy used by many Chassidim. |

| | They had a thirst for the Sephardi traditions and a yearning to pass on their cultural individuality to their children through a communal center and Synagogue. | | | Observant Sephardi congregants needed a place of worship within walking distance from their homes. | | | The community has now been able to employ the services of a Rabbi, which it has brought from Israel to continue the traditions of this unique community and to pass on the Sephardi culture to its children who live in a predominately Askenazi Diaspora community. |

| | Israel's first Bolshevik dictator, David Ben Gurion, and the Histadrut (Marxist labor union) teachers took Sephardi children into their schools and taught them that the Torah Judaism which they so loved was silly, primitive, childish and parochial. | | | Among the Sephardim who gave in to the pressure and abandoned Torah Judaism, many of their children today yearn to return to their religious roots. | | | Before Israel's formation in 1948, a girl's school in Cairo (above) clung to its Jewish faith despite brutal oppression by the Egyptian Muslim Nazis |

| | The private respondents, Midrash Sephardi and Young Israel of Bal Harbour, are two small Orthodox Jewish congregations located in the town of Surfside, Florida, which is a small, oceanfront community. | | | In addition to providing services on Holy Days and on the Sabbath, the congregations hold daily prayer sessions, and host various religious and social functions, community meals, lectures and group discussions, meetings on community welfare and public service activities, and singles events. | | | Finally, the court held that the congregations' "substantial burden" claim failed because the fact that some members of the congregation would be unable to walk to services if the synagogues were relocated to the residential district did not amount to a substantial burden on religion. |
