Translated Abstract

This article is questioning the relevance of the dichotomy between Ashkenazi and Sephardic people in a context of a long time migrations, and which is somehow attenuated by transformations of the contemporary religious practices. It focuses on interactions between the Ashkenazi and Sephardic people in the 19th Parisian arrondissement, new high place of the French Orthodox Judaism, and especially in the religious places as Jewish schools and casher shops. If identification to one group or to one other is still remaining, references on original cultures in these places of Jewish revitalization seem to be placed on a second plan. We can observe phenomenon of mobility in the religious practices, like Ashkenazi’s practices adopted by Sephardic, and also an adoption of the majority’s cultural practices. The identities combination, resulting from the choice of an orthodox practice, are giving birth to new communities, based on the reinvention of the membership feeling, where religious criterion is now more central as the geographical origins, and in return, contribute to exceed the Ashkenazim and Sephardic categorization.
