Moms grandparents and parents were from Mundezano, Italy but we have not been able to trace it back any further. There are many possibilities and I appreciate all the feedback from yourself and the other posters. I remember mom would sit with the neighborhood ladies under the lamppost in her lawn chair and she conversed with them in what I came to find out was Yiddish. We were raised as Catholics and I know that my grandparents were Catholic and all my aunts and uncles were Catholic. I remember a Sephardic temple on 167th between the Concourse and Walton just below Adath Israel. I think it was called Adath Jeshrun but I am not sure. The responses have really helped I always thought that Yiddish was Hebrew.
