message: It looks like this article and other too broad lists involving HUGE numbers of Jews (List of Ashkenazi Jews, etc.) were started, worked on for a little while, and then abandoned. Obviously this list will never come close to even being 50% complete, so I ask: what is the point of even having this list when we already have more specific Jew lists to cover most or all of these people?  --WassermannNYC 02:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Regarding Paula Abdul, an anonymous editor deleted her because she is of Mizrahi origin. Editor Newport reverted him arguing "since when are Mizrahi Jews not Sephardi? Are they Ashkenazi?" Well... I tend to agree with the anonymous editor, since that in the Mizrahi Jews article it is said:
Many speakers, especially in Israel, identify all non-Ashkenazi Jews as Sephardim. The reason for this usage is that most Mizrahi communities use much the same religious ritual as Sephardim proper (i.e. descendants of the Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula, that is, modern Spain and Portugal), and can therefore be described as Jews of the Sephardic rite, though not as Sephardi Jews.  This broader definition of "Sephardim" is common in religious circles, especially those associated with the Shas political party.
Others prefer to differentiate between Sephardim proper and Mizrahim.  There is some disagreement on whether Iberian-descended Sephardim from Eastern countries (e.g. Turkish Jews) should be described as "Mizrahim" or not.
In many Arab countries there was a social distinction between Judeo-Romance-speaking Sephardim arriving after the expulsion from Spain in 1492, plus the ones expelled by order of King Manuel I of Portugal in 1497, and the older Arabic-speaking communities.  The latter were often referred to by themselves as "Musta'arabim" or by the Sephardim as "Moriscos" (equivalent to "Moors" in English).
What does everyone think about this? Thank you. The Ogre 12:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, it is against policy to cite one Wikipedia article as a source in another. We need reliable sources that Mizrachi Jews are not Sephardim. I suggest that they are, in the broad sense. Otherwise, we would have to say that only German-speaking Jews from Western and Central Europe who daven Minhag Ashkenaz are Ashkenazim, and Yiddish-speaking Jews from Eastern Europe, especially those who daven Minhag Polin, are not.--R613vlu 16:30, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello this list is very similar to "list of Iberian Jews" and other list of Jews by regions. This list is very incomplete and doesn't make any sense.--Vanlister (talk) 10:28, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
