[Heb-NACO] diagram of varieties of liturgical rites

[Shinohara, Jasmin]

Heidi, it was discussed at AJL 2012. The minutes are here<http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/page/55517046/Minutes%202012>. The conclusion then was “Action item:  The decision was made to maintain current practice; however, LC will update the appropriate authority records to clarify that the single qualifier “Sephardic” is used to signify both rites.” Do we want to rehash this again?

Dear Safranim



We often experience difficulties when cataloging liturgical resources as to what rite a particular siddur or mahzor adhere to.



Often it is clear such as when we have "Minhag romi" "Minhag ha-Romanyoṭim" "Ari rite". But oftentimes it is not clear if we have "Minhag" or "Nusaḥ" Sefarad which variously identify liturgical works variously as "Sephardic rite" often referring to that adopted by various Hasidic sects and based on Lurianic  textor, alternatively, as emanating from Mizrahi communities and others where descendants  of Portuguese and Spanish Jews live.



Years ago Professor Larry Schiffman gave  session on liturgy at AJL and maybe have provided a handout.



It might be helpful to come up with some guidelines on when to apply Sephardic rite and when not to.



If not no, could this be an agenda item for the cataloging commiteee meeting at AJL?



Do people remember earlier discussions on this topic?



Best, Heidi
