Question

A ritual among members of this cultural group to protect children from fairies included singing a verse about a dove and evolved into the fijola ceremony. Families of this group sew clothes for a newborn in the kortar fashadura ceremony and for the soon-to-be dead in the kortar mortaja. The Xueta (“SHWAY-tuh”) community and many groups of anusim are both descended from members of this group. (-5[1])Members of this group practice a rite influenced by the work of (*) Isaac Luria, (-5[1])the Edot (10[1])HaMizrach. (-5[1])This group often can’t mix fish and dairy (10[1])but can (10[1]-5[1])consume (-5[1])kitniyot, or legumes and grains, (10[1])during Passover. (10[3]-5[3])Mizrahis (10[2])are often conflated with this Ladino-speaking (10[3]-5[1])group, (10[1])which developed after the Alhambra Decree. (10[2])For 10 points, (10[2])name this group of Jews (10[1])with Iberian (10[2])ancestry, (10[1])the second largest (10[1])after the (10[1])Ashkenazim. (10[1]0[1])■END■ (10[2]0[2])

ANSWER: Sephardim [or Sepharadim; or Sephardic Jews; or Sephardi Jews; accept Sephardic Judaism or Sephardi Judaism; prompt on Spanish Jews or Portuguese Jews or Iberian Jews; prompt on conversos or marranos; prompt on Mizrahi with “what group do they share their rite with?”]
