Note: jewish world was split into many different communities.

Ashkenazim jews studied talmudic discourse and applied it to jewish life. Joseph karo: shulchan aruk, authoritative code of jewish observance: born a sephardic jew, so book met opposition until moses isserles added footnotes reflecting a ashkenazi interpretation of his book.
