Quick Question on Sephardic Jews Hello all i m not a jewish person but have a great deal of interest in both Israel Judaism and have doubts as to the meaning of sephardic jew Wikipedia other i net resources have given me the definition most of you will know from Iberian peninsula emigrating to the mediteranean region etc but what raised my doubts is something else I recently saw a documentary which claimed that Sephardic jews originated from a tribe in a land adjacent to israel in the north though i forgot its ancient name The king leader of this tribe was deeply impressed with his jewish neighbours and converted himself as well as all his people to judaism I can find nothing to back this up and would love any imput you re wishing to provide Thank you all Hayden
