Turns out I was right
I asked around, most of my great-grandparents fled Western Russia around 1900 to escape the Pogroms. So my people have had atleast two major Exodus's in the last 100 years. Kind of makes you think, or atleast it should.
The other thing I was right about was Fiddler, That Film/Play is set in the same timeframe and place my Great-Grandparents where forced to flee, so it really is my story. For the record, As far as I can tell my family 100 years ago was in Russia, Poland, Latvia, and the Ukraine. Guess that means I am Ashkenazi. So in theory no Rice for Corn for me this Pesach, but two Rabbi's out here said that since we speak Sephardic we can eat sephardic. I know for a fact that Karin plans to rock Pesach Sephardic style. Now where is that Afikoman.
