Sample Name: Ashkenazi Jews, South Africa

Sample UID: SA000038L

Sample Description:Ashkenazi Jews, South Africa Jews began to immigrate to South Africa in the beginning of the 19th century. In 1841, the first Hebrew congregation was established. The Jewish population assisted in the development of South African trade and industry and were among the pioneers of the Transvall region where diamonds and gold were discovered. However the majority of today's Jewish population are descendants of early 20th century immigrants from Lithuania. The South African Jew are overwhelming Ashkenazi. The word Ashkenaz is derived from a biblical word for the larger Germanic region of Europe. Therefore, Ashkenazim Jews are those whose ancestry is linked to that area. This group traditionally speaks the Yiddish language, which is a German dialect that has Hebrew and Slavic elements. There has also been a flow of Jews into South Africa from Isreal. The Jews of South Africa are affluent, well educated, and have a strong traditional and Zionist bent. Most of the Jewish day schools are Orthodox, but several are ultra-Orthodox.
