Esimerkit

• [… A]s to the testimony of the ancients, Diodorus Siculus affirms that the Germans had their origin from the Cimmerians; and the Jews to this day called them Ashkanazim, or descendants of Ashkenaz, son of Gomer.
• Ben-Gurion's legacy has been an enduring one. The projection of a national consensus, the domination of the state over other political actors, and the hegemony exercised over decision-making by a largely Ashkanazim élite remain features of Israeli politics today.
• Reform Judaism, which has been called “the folk religion of the German-American Jew,” represented a crisis in the longstanding linguistic and religious differences dividing Sephardim and Ashkanazim.
• It is in the distribution of the Rh (rhesus) factor that the blood of the various Jewish communities of Europe shows some significant differences compared to their gentile neighbors — apparently due to an old core of Mediterranean ancestry among the Ashkanazim.
