Roy, (OFF TOPIC)
There has been some strife between Ashkanaz and Safrad, which is ridicolus, but goes back to 1500's. When the Safrad arrived from Spain in France, and Holland, the Ashkanz called them Shnore-Yudden, and Schnoreres, since they had lost all their wealth in Spain prior to going away. There are some cutural differences, off course and the founding fathers of the Statee of Israel were Ahskanzim, who Scoialists, tecnocrats!! There are bickering and iargueing in Israel, as who is better than the other, it is very sad! The Safrad and Ahkanaz and Hasid all shared the same destiny between 1939 to 1945, there were no distinction by Einsatz-groupen when they made the final solution! They did not ask where you came from, right.
Doing business in Germany? My friends, when you have to survive and keep you buisness working you fight for an order and try hard to make the ends meet. Hard choices have to be made every day.
