Musta'arabi Jews

Following the expulsion, Sephardi exiles moved into the Middle East (among other places around the world), and settled among their Musta'arabi co-religionists.

The general tendency, however, was for both the communities and their customs to assimilate, adopting a mostly Sephardic liturgy and identity.
