Description

To Mr. Elyashar, discursive concerning Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews

summary

Ben-Gurion states not all Jews can be neatly categorized. He does not understand why Mr. Elyashar insists that the Jews of Babylonia originated from Spain. He states sarcastically that Moses, King David and the Prophets never stepped foot in Spain (Sephard) or Germany (Ashkenaz) and spoke neither Ladino nor Yiddish!
