The term Sephardi, as generally used, describes Jews of non-European origin. The term is actually a misnomer in that it broadly describes Jews of middle-eastern descent as well Yemenite Jews. The term "Sehpardi" actually means "Spain". Jews of Middle-eastern descent should really be called "Musta'Arab" or "Edot Hamizrah". Jews from Yemen are not Sephardi at all either and should be referred to as "Temani" (or another more appropriate term they themselves use - which I have forgotten at the moment).
Spanish (and Portugese) had existing communities in Turkey and Greece and even in Holland which developed after the expulsion from Spain, circa 1492.
Sephardi Jews, as used broadly, have unfortunately come to assimilate among the more dominant and hegemonic Ashkenazi Jews. Consequently, they have almost lost their rich culture, heritage, norms, and traditions

Sephardi Jews have different traditions or minhagim than Ashkenazi Jews.
In many cases, Sephardi Jews abide by significantly different Halachot than Ashkenazi Jews.
Beyond just food and liturgical differences, Sephardic Jews have traditionally had a different approach to Judaism. They are not as neurotic in their adherence to the laws as Ashkenazi Jews.

Get the seharr mug.Sehar is the Persian Word For Sunrise and Arab
for awakening/dawn. But if you meet a girl
named Sehar she will probably be the single
most amazing person you will ever meet. From
the second she walks into the room, everyone
will notice. Sehar is probably the most loving,
sincere, reliable, unique person you'll ever lay
eyes on. Even though she might not be the
prettiest, or the nicest person in town- she is
still pretty freaking gorgeous-inside and out.
Sehar is one to believe in the whole tough love
thing. If meeting her for the first time and she
doesn't see to open up, it's because she
doesn't trust many. But those who she does
will most definitely say she's a cool person with
the big heart. Sehar also refers to someone
who has an awesome attitude.
