no, seriously, this dates back to probably before the spain banishment, since jews from north africa and yemen do it as well as jews from europe (east, centre and west).
i didnt realize that it was such an old tradition! maybe it dates back to before the destruction of teh 2nd Temple then...b/c the jews from yemen werent affected by the spanish inquisition.
