I don't think I've ever seen that distinction made in other Sephardi synagogues, or in Ashkenazi communities. It's always intrigued me. Does anyone know the origin of the custom?

Those who would like to have a Rambam Shiur in Jerusalem, please contact me. I am in Israel at the moment.

I was going to respond to so much here displayed separately, but I rather do it in one shot.-- Although I think the issues of minghag and the Iberian anussím are important, and very part of our tradition, I think the Intellectual aspect has been falling by the wayside. Let's pay more attention to that, please.-- It is all to sad, to say the least, about some opinions being reflected about the mode...

Hello there!! I'm a University student from England finishing next year and currently on my year abroad in Granada, Spain. I'm currently investigating a topic for a dissertation. I've decided to focus on Sephardic preservation which is of great interest to me as I have Sephardic descent.
