History
Sephardi-Aleppan rabbinic dynasty. Yehuda Ades founds Kol Yaakov in Jerusalem; the Brooklyn branch builds the Ades Synagogue, liturgical heart of Syrian bakkachot.
Surname of Arabic origin, literally “the lentils,” doubtless figuratively the miserly or poor man: in Judeo-Arabic, lentils — a reminiscence of the sale of Esau's birthright to Jacob — symbolized the dish of poverty (Genesis 25:34). A surname widespread in the East (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon), very rare in the Maghreb. — Source: J. Toledano, “Une histoire de familles : les noms de famille juifs d'Afrique du Nord.”
