I had to write or decorate a page for my almost 4 yr old of the mitzvos he does, for school. Since I can't write it in spanish, I decided to take pictures of him doing the mitzvos and write what each one is, for example, shema, tzedaka, etc...

I finished doing it and my other kids went to look at it. One picture didn't say anything under it because it was shema and it went with him covering his eyes which was in the picture right next to it, overlapping one another. It was a picture of him saying "baruch shem...", he had his finger on his lips. My 9 year old said that they won't know what it is because sefardim don't do that LOL

. I changed it to no lashon hora.

No, ashkenazim don't either put their finger to their lips. It's just how we say it w/ our children and I guess he thought that's how you're supposed to say it.

Is the school itself sefardi or just the kids that go there?
I didn't know it was such a big percentage...

The school itself is sefardi, even though the large majority of the administration is ashkenaz. They daven sefardi and learn sefardi minhagim. Maybe the percentage is more 85-90% sefardim.
