About Linda Capeloto Sendowski

Video (2 1/4 minutes) about the ancestry of Linda Capeloto Sendowski

I’m Linda Capeloto Sendowski and I’m an American Sephardic Jew. Although both of my parents were born in the U.S., their parents came from the Greek island of Rhodes and the Turquoise Coast of Turkey.

What’s more, being a Sephardic Jews means that our ancestors came from Spain when the Spanish Inquisition kicked the Jews out of Spain. Many of them settled in the Ottoman Empire at that time because the sultan of the Ottoman Empire appreciated the learning and the skills that the Jews possessed.

And I’m married to an Ashkenazic Jew, born in the U.S., whose parents came from Poland and Czechoslovakia. In my kosher kitchen I cook both Sephardic and Ashkenazic dishes plus revising recipes from all over the world to fit into the requirements of kosher cooking.
