Hello! My family just found out, through some genealogical research, that we are significantly of Jewish background on my father’s side from Calabria, Italy (specifically Catanzaro region from the towns of Albi and Fossatto). I believe we are of Sephardic descent, but possibly of Italkim descent as well, based on the multiple settlements in that region. Anything you can tell me about Italian Jewish traditions?
Mod here. Just to make it clear for respondents, @realbipolarmood is looking to learn about her ancestor’s traditions, not to take on Jewish practices.
Much thanks! (Todah rabah!) !תּוֹדָה רַבָּה
