David Béhart-Hasson and Amélia Taral were born in Cairo, Egypt.
jackson: Yes. Even prior to comprehending the principal idea of interbreeding with local Mizrahi Jewish counterparts over generations.
Fixed:
Egyptian Jews are literally by definiton Mizrahi Jewish = Sephardi Jews who lived in a Middle Eastern(&North African) Muslim country for several generations.
That Wikipedia article confirms my arguement.
if she is of Egyptian-Jewish descent it means she’s also of Mizrahi Jewish heritage
Her father’s family is Sephardi and I think with roots in Spain and/or Turkey.
yet a Jew, espeially Sephardic Jews who have lived in any Middle Eastern Muslim country (such as Egypt or Turkey) for several genrations are automatically considered of Mizrahi Jewish background
No, living in the Middle East for several generations doesn’t make you Mizrahi. Back to the time of the Jewish diaspora whose ancestors didn’t reside in Germany (or eastern Europe) or Spain. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Oriental-Jews
”Oriental Jews” is an outdated term, and your argument is factually wrong.
Read Wikipedia:
htts://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews
Why did you send a link to wikipedia? It says the same thing about communities going back to the Jewish diaspora as I was saying in my earlier comment? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews
Turkish Jews are literally by definiton Mizrahi Jewish = Sephardi Jews who lived in a Middle Eastern Muslim country for several generations.
That Wikipedia article confirms my arguement.
So lets say an Ashkenazi Jew lived in Turkey for “several generations” are they Mizrahi Jewish from the same lineage?
Emmanuelle’s paternal grandparents were David Béhart-Hasson and Amélia Taral
