Ashkenazi Jews are an ethnic group comprised of Jews who went to Europe after the expulsion. Ashkenaz was the word for Germany in the Middle Ages, but it generally applies to Jews with a European ancestry.

Ashkenazi Jews are Jews from Eastern Europe (such as Poland, Russia, etc.). They have a different culture (different food, pronunciation of Hebrew, language, etc.) than Jews from other areas, such as Sephardic Jews.
