re: #79 The Ghost of a Flea

I was being completely flippant. I apologize if I’ve made a telling generalization.

Oh, no apology necessary. Sephardim don’t really do the whole dreidel thing. We’ve got some other minor differences in culture, but thanks to that ol’ Inquisition thing, as well as our tendency to be more exogamous, Sephardic culture took a backseat to Ashkenazic, especially in US and European minds, a long time ago.

If you’re doing anything significant in the Jewish community it’s probably good to know the difference, but otherwise at worst Moroccan Jews will say “What?” when you make a dreidel joke.
