As an Ashkenazi Jew born in Israel, in hindsight I realised these recent years how most of the tunes my family new and even the synagogue we went to (on those rare occasions) were Yemenite. These pas years I always thought it was the way for my parent- esp. my dad, to "feel" more Israeli, the way east European Jewry was/is always "frowned upon", the whole story of the weak Jew and so on.
But maybe the cultural mix-and-match went both ways? Sounds a bit too good to be true, I know. Would be interesting to hear more stories like yours...

My introductionI always wanted to vote for the EDE but was somehow always persuaded to make sure my vote doesn't "go to waste".
Still it's nice to see they have a decent fan base in Francehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe–Democracy–Esperanto
