@Strangesightings7 Spanish and not Sephardic? Interesting.

@Fukfacewillie Sephardic Spanish orgins.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow i said we will not argue, and i will leave you with your uneducated opinion, but for how long were those persecutions? Even if you do not believe the bible as written, you should brush up on your history.

Seems you are more interested in pushing a political narrative here.

@Fukfacewillie many of us share the same origin

@Lonar2 I looked up the term and found

the following:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rosyn

Please educate me, I know of the two major Jewish backgrounds, if not Ashkenazi, i think of others as Sephardic.

@samueltyler2 Rosyns are Ruthenians

@Lonar2 i need to look that up.

I am not sure it relates, unless you mean catholic?
