'''Ashkenazi''' (from the name of one of [[Noah]]'s grandsons) is a Jew of eastern European or [[German]] descent; as compared with [[Sephardi|Sephardim]], refers to the group of [[Judaism|Jews]] who, after the [[diaspora]], settled in central and northern [[Europe]]. Many famous Jews are Ashkenazi (which is both a noun and an adjective), [[Albert Einstein]] among them.

Ashkenazi Jews follow many different practices than Sephardim. For instance, Sephardi Jews eat rice on [[Passover]], but Ashkenazi Jews do not.
