What we've agreed today will provide a framework within which both practical and sometimes challenging issues can be discussed on the basis of mutual trust and respect," said Archbishop Williams, the leader of the global Anglican Communion, after signing the agreement with Rabbi Amar, the chief Sephardi rabbi, and Rabbi Metzger who represents Ashkenazi Jews, who mostly come from Europe. Most of them (about 70%) are middle-class Ashkenazi Jews, of European descent. Qumsiyeh argues that, since Russian or other Ashkenazi Jews have very little in common genetically with Sephardic or "Oriental" Jews, or with Arabs--indeed with any of the Semites who originally settled the land of Canaan--they therefore are not entitled to "return" to a place from which they never came. |
