Ashkenazi
Any Jew of German or Eastern European descent, as opposed to a Sephardi, of Spanish, Portuguese, or North African descent.
Ashkenazim developed European customs and the Yiddish language during the centuries they remained outside the influence of the Middle East. They were the Zionists who resettled Palestine and who now run the government of Israel, resettling Jews from anywhere in the world.
