[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ashkenazi is a subgroup of Jews. There are no Ashkenazi non-Jews. There are Jews who are not Ashkenazi. Not all Arabs are Muslim. Not all Muslims are Arab.[/quote] What? There are plenty of Ashkenazi Jews who do not practice Judaism. And their families, for generations, did not. [/quote] Yes, and most people call them ethnic Jews, Jews by origin, or even "cultural Jews" (though often they have no ties to secular Jewish culture) . Few bother to distinguish them from sephardic or mizrahi Jews, unless you are messing around with some ancestry service, or worrying about grandma's kugel recipe. And I would suggest that outside Israel, there are few Jews whose familes have not practiced Judaism for generations. In the diaspora such families typically intermarry multiple times over the generations and lose any ties to Jewish identity of any kind. It becomes "oh your great grandma was Jewish, that's cute"[/quote]
