Like I mentioned, all is not well in seminarland. We have some friends (Sephardim) who probably could have been accepted into the "prestigious" Ashkenazic seminars. Instead, they opted to send their girls to a seminar run by Shas.

In Israel, a shidduch between the 2, I've heard, is not a good idea because of totally different mindsets of the 2 communities. That's understandable.<BR/><BR/>However, there is unfortunately, a percentage of Ashkenazim who are racist against Sepharadim - pure and simple.
