Hey Jumblr,
What are some non-Ashknazi marriage traditions/rituals that y'all do? I was reading up on weddings and a lot of stuff (the bedeken, the walking around the groom) was written to be Ashkenazi tradition. I know a lot about henna, but that's basically it.

Hello! My family just found out, through some genealogical research, that we are significantly of Jewish background on my father’s side from Calabria, Italy (specifically Catanzaro region from the towns of Albi and Fossatto). I believe we are of Sephardic descent, but possibly of Italkim descent as well, based on the multiple settlements in that region. Anything you can tell me about Italian Jewish traditions?
Mod here. Just to make it clear for respondents, @realbipolarmood is looking to learn about her ancestor’s traditions, not to take on Jewish practices.
Much thanks! (Todah rabah!) !תּוֹדָה רַבָּה
i've discovered some time ago, thanks to my dad, that i am of jewish descent. i cant ask my grandmother bc she died a lont time ago (and also bc my dad grew up catholic after) and im not rlly sure what 'ethnic subdivision' she belonged to. she was italian (so probably italkim) but she was born in brazil, just like her parents, so maybe sephardi? what is most likely to be between the two? im pretty sure they were not ashkenazim
Some say Rome's "Crostata di ricotta e visciole" (ricotta and sour cherry tart) symbolises Jewish ingenuity and resilience in the face of op
18th c. Italian Jewish recipe from Rome in defiance of Papal edict, OR mid-20th c. post-war recipe? Either way, it's delicious.
Dairy foods and fried foods are associated with Hanukkah, but potato latkes actually descend from Italian pancakes. Learn more about the history of latkes.

From the article:
[L]atkes descend from Italian pancakes that were made with ricotta cheese. The first connection between Hanukkah and pancakes was made by a rabbi in Italy named Rabbi Kalonymus ben Kalonymus (c. 1286-1328). According to The Encyclopedia of Jewish Food by Gil Marks, the Rabbi included pancakes “in a list of dishes to serve at an idealized Purim feast, as well as a poem about Hanukkah. After the Spanish expelled the Jews from Sicily in 1492, the exiles introduced their ricotta cheese pancakes, which were called cassola in Rome, to the Jews of northern Italy. Consequently, cheese pancakes, because they combined the two traditional types of foods–fried and dairy–became a natural Hanukkah dish.”
Potato latkes are a more recent Ashkenazi invention that gained popularity in Eastern Europe during the mid 1800′s. A series of crop failures in Poland and the Ukraine led to mass planting of potatoes, which were easy and cheap to grow. But before potatoes came on the scene, the latke of choice was cheese.
In honor of Judith and the history of Hanukkah, give these cheese latkes a try. They’re super easy to make and they’ll melt in your mouth. Imagine cheesy blintz filling made into a fluffy little pancake. So creamy and delicious! Use full fat, high quality ricotta for best flavor results… if you’re on a diet, lowfat will work, too. Top them with a little something sweet like honey or agave nectar. Knowing the history behind the latkes will make them taste even better!

Yesterday I found out that one of my Grandma’s sisters got her ancestry DNA test results back and it turns out that she has Jewish ancestry. I don’t know the exact percentage but it was one of her main ancestral groups along with Italian.
I did some research and it turns out that my great-great grandmother’s maiden name- Brancato- is a Jewish-Sicilian surname. I also looked at one of my family trees and it turns out that, through my great- grandmother’s father, I have a 4x great-grandmother whose maiden name was Bonanno, another Jewish - Sicilian surname. I also learned that Naro- the village that my family comes from- had a sizeable Jewish population that was wiped out during the Spanish Inquisition.
So it turns out that I’m very likely descended -at least in part- from Sicilian Bnei Anusim.
I’ve been batting around the idea of conversion for a while now and one my biggest stumbling blocks, ironically, is the idea of letting go of my Sicilian-Catholic heritage. Now I see it as throwing off something that was forced on my ancestors and reclaiming something that was taken from them.
Jews commemorate Hanukkah by eating fried foods. For most American Jews, that means latkes — potato pancakes fried in oil. But other cultures toss different foods into pots of boiling oil.
I grew up eating latkes -- unsurprising, since American and Ashkenazi -- but fried artichokes are one of my favorites and who doesn’t like sufganiyot?
Really, my only complaint is my aunt’s insistence on trying to make our latkes “healthy” by baking them or cooking in as little oil as possible. It’s Hanukkah, ffs! Just fry them!
Do you know of any Italian Jewish people here? I recently found out my relatives were Jewish and I'm having a hard time finding information on the culture of jewish italians
There was someone I used to talk to, who lived in Australia and came from an Italian Jewish family. His old username was quienmandaaquiquien, but I have no idea where he has gone.
