We moved for financial reasons and my husband is from there even though neither his parents were born there. His mother, Uruguay and father, Israel. My husband works for his father, the meat business. I can get by with the spanish I know, but it's very lousy. My kids do of course. I live in Once, but more the outskirts of the jewish community, but only by a few blocks and more are moving in the area.

Nah, stupid, more like.
Just like my cousin, except she lives in Brazil! Born and bred in Brooklyn, married a boy from Sao Paulo and then went to live there when it was time for him to help his father out in... the family's meat business!
Wonder if she's on here?

Midway between where my folks were and where I hope my kids will end up. That’s where I’m from.

Grew up in brooklyn. Married there, amd lived there fir a few years then moved to kj for 2 years.
Now live in South Blooming Grove. A village in the town of Blooming Grove that is next to town of Monroe where kj is located in..... a 1o minute drive to kj. lol.
My parents were born and lived in Germany and Romania for the first 3-4 years of their lives.
My father then moved with his parents to isreal then antwerp then came to NY for yeshiva.
My mother came straight to NY from Europe.
Her step-father was from Uruguay.
So I guess all over the place..... 3 out if 4 grandparents were chassidish. Mostly belz and satmar before ww2. One not but he was very close to the satmar rebbe post ww2.
I am a first generation american.

Homey!!
What part of Philly are you from? I'm from a little tiny corner of the city no one has ever heard of, but that was (in my time), 90% Jewish.

Elkins Park?
I was born in NYC, grew up in the Midwest, went to high school in Lakewood, lived in Monsey, Passaic, Queens, BP, Midwood, and Riverdale as a single. Lived in Deal, NJ and now live in Bala Cynwyd.
My family is Yekke, but my husband’s family cam to America in 1790 from Spain after a few stops en route.

That’s quite a history!
Not Elkins Park, but close enough. Actually the Philadelphia side of Cheltenham Avenue, but I haven’t lived there in a long time. My mom grew up in Feltonville, and my dad in the Mansion. That’s basically The Who what where of Philly Jews.
And MY husband traces his ancestry back to the expulsion of Jews from Spain, but they wound up in Romania until the early 20th century.
