I was talking about where ashkenazi jews came from to Israel, it was more relevant to the convesation. Though I didn't know about the polish-middle class thingy.

I know, I have a friend who's one side of her family is in Israel since that year (14 generations if I remember correct). I was again talking about where they came from to Israel.
