13.- This group of Jews gets their name from the Hebrew word for Germany:
Ashkenazi Jews
Sometime in the early medieval period, the Jews of central and eastern Europe came to be called by the name Ashkenazim,in conformity with the custom of designating areas of Jewish settlement with biblical names, Spain being identified as Sefarad , France as Tsarefat, and Bohemia as Land of Canaan.
By the high medieval period, Talmudic commentators like Rashi began to use Ashkenaz/Eretz Ashkenaz to designate what today comprises the country of Germany, earlier known as Loter, where, especially in the Rhineland communities of Speyer, Worms and Mainz, the most important Jewish communities arose.

The Talmud (/ˈtɑːlmʊd, -məd, ˈtæl-/; Hebrew: תַּלְמוּד talmūd) is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (halakha) and Jewish theology.
