Why did some Jewish people take Polish and Russian surnames while

>>2629374
Jewish surnames in the Russian Empire were roughly 50/50 Slavic/Yiddish in origin with a small percentage derived from Hebrew.

In the Russian Pale of Settlement, numerous surnames are drawn from two Yiddish dialects, Northeastern (peculiar to Lithuania, Latvia, Belorussia and northern Ukraine) and Southeastern (characteristic of southern Ukraine and Bessarabia). The differences between these dialects mainly concern the pronunciation of vowels, as illustrated in the following samples:
Northeastern Yiddish: Treger, Margolis, Nodelman, Borekh, Gorfunkel, Beim, Likht
Southeastern Yiddish: Treiger, Margulis, Nudelman, Burikh, Gurfinkel, Boim, Lekht
The regions in which the Yiddish names were particularly common were Bessarabia, Podolia and Volhynia.

Surnames derived from German words and/or with German suffixes were common in two areas a good distance apart:
A continuous region in the southwestern part of the Empire comprising Bessarabia, Podolia and Volhynia. In this area, almost all surnames based on the German language belong to the category of artificial surnames—surnames that had nothing to do with either the origin or personal characteristics of their first bearers. Often them represent compound names, with two roots appended to each other: Apfelbaum, Kirschenbaum, Prinzenthal, Rosenzweig, Rotblatt and Weissberg. Certain names came to this area of the Empire from neighboring Galicia; others, even more numerous, were constructed locally, immediately after enactment of the law of 1804 that forced all Jews of the Empire to acquire hereditary family names.
Courland, a guberniya outside the Pale of Settlement with a large Jewish population authorized to continue residence there after Russia’s annexation of the area in 1795. In this guberniya, the German language was the source of the creation of a large majority of surnames.

Ashkenazi Jews took surnames based on the language of the country they lived in and the profession allotted to them. Just like everyone else.

It's called conversion. Ashkenazi Jews are LARPing as Jews.

>>2629543
It's not larping if they follow the religion.

>>2629374
Good question, my guess is that non-Yiddish names came later? Many poor Jews did not have last names in the modern sense until the 18th and early 19to century. A Jew named Joseph ben Elezier in rural Poland or Russia would have just adopted the name of a nearby town or just made his patronymic name more Slavic.

As far as I know, most Jewish Slavic names are place names or patronyms.

>>2629543
Not much evidence of this and it doesn't hold up genetically. While certainly a lot of Germans and Poles converted for various reasons over the years, Ashkenazi populations developed in the Roman Era as Jewish men migrated to Italy and France and married local women.

>>2629374
Trying to blend in so they wouldn't be discriminated against.

>>2629573
Ashkenazi Jews are descendant from converted Iranians and Greeks before they even arrived in Germany and Poland. It is known.

>90 percent of Ashkenazi Jews descend from the Greeks, Iranians and others who colonised northern Anatolia (now northern Turkey) more than 2,000 years ago before converting to Judaism.

Hahahaha

Medieval and early modern Jews lived in segregated villages and ghettos and often wore, or were made to wear, specific articles of clothing identifying them as Jewish

>>2629599
They still follow Judaism and are thus Jews.

>>2629608
>Leibowitz we wuz ancient Jews and shit I ain't bullshitting you

>>2629604
Most Jews didn't use surnames at that time.

>>2629599
So jews are more aryan than nazis?

>>2629618
Ashkenazi are more closely related to israelites than they are to the natives of whatever country they abide in.

>>2629691
Gee I wonder if that's because they ARE Israelis? The only true Jews left are the Ethiopian ones.

Informative, ty Anon

yes

>>2629691
Ashkenazis are decended Goyim/Europeans who converted to Pharisaism after Rome dispersed them from Judea.

A converted Goyim to Jewish community flourished in Rome at this time. This community could have been the source of both the Ashkenazim of Europe and the Sephardim of Spain and Portugal, given that the two groups have considerable genetic commonality,

tl;dr ashkenazis are goyim larping as Jews

>>2629746
yes Ethiopians are the real Jews

Ashkenazis are like Uzbek/Azeri/Kavkazi/Khazar
Sefardis are Berbers who converted

> friendly reminder that the original Ashkenazis were in fact Moroccan Jews who immigrated to Germany
> friendly reminder that today's """""""""""""Ashkenazis""""""""""""" are nothing but Eastern European converts
> friendly reminder that Einstein was a Sephardi

Ashkenazi jews originate from Khazaria, in southern Russia. They were Turkified Serbs/Proto-Slavs who accepted Judaism around 800AD. After the fall of the Khazar state they migrated west to Germany where they gradually Germanified their Serbian names.

Korovic -> Horowitz
Brkovic -> Berkowitz

>>2629374
same reason abo-gypsies have germanic names.
gypsies from india and khazrs from kavkaz like to fuck around with the gullible ones.

>>2630398

>>2629374
Just like any parasite, it adapts to its host

>>2630428
>ashkenazis dont look dinaric

Because they're a hybrid between Dinarics and Turkic nomads.

>>2630398
There is literally no evidence for this. I mean actually, most of the stories we have about the Khazars being jewish were forged by Sephardic Jews. There's a "letter" supposedly written by the Khazarian king in perfect hebrew and it gets everything we know about Khazaria wrong. Stop treating this place like /pol/ when forged evidence is all you got.

Jews, Christians and Muslims used to make this shit up all the time. Look at the Zohar, some Jew lied and said it was written a thousand years before when it was actually from Spain by himself.

I have question, do different Jewish groups hate each other like brits and frogs ?
Or do they just hate the Ethiopian Jews ?
