AI overview
Sephardi Jews are the Jewish communities that originated in Spain and Portugal, and their descendants who spread throughout the Mediterranean, North Africa, and beyond after being expelled from the Iberian Peninsula in the late 15th century. This group is historically significant because they developed distinct cultural practices, language (Ladino), and traditions that differ from other major Jewish communities and have profoundly shaped Jewish history and identity across multiple regions.

Sefarditas ou sefaraditas (em hebraico ספרדים, sefaradim; plural de sefaradi ספרדי) é o termo usado para referir os descendentes de judeus originários de Portugal e Espanha. A palavra tem origem na denominação hebraica para designar a Península Ibérica (Sefarad, ספרד). Utilizam a língua sefardi, também chamada judeu-espanhol e "ladino", como língua litúrgica. Estes judeus de Sefarad possuíam tradições, línguas, hábitos e ritos diferenciados dos seus irmãos asquenazes que habitavam a Europa Central e Europa de Leste.
