Yeah, I have Spanish Jewish convert blood too . They were such a powerful force in Medieval Spain, but then the Inquisition and Ferdinand and Isabella came . You know what happened.....But it's interesting to note that many people in Spain and with Spanish ancestry still retain some Jewish aspects in their looks. And for some reason most of my friends in the US are Jewish too.

It's missing a few, but it's got lots. Incidentally, I don't speak Yiddish, but I've heard a lot of the expressions (particularly the insulting ones - our race often resorts to Yiddish for insults since strong enough ones don't exist in English. )
