(I'm sorry I missed the 'forks' post...).

Active Sephardic communities?  All over Israel.

They have their own Yeshivot and their own derech which is NOT the Litvische 
derech.

Actually there has been a renaissance over the past 2 decades, and more and 
more Sephardi and Yeminite Derech Talmudei Torah and Yeshivot have been 
opening.  The Yeminite guys aredistinct by their special clothing.  The 
Sephardim know who they are, and the communities know the differences 
between the Sephardi Derech and the "Litvische/Chassidische" so-called 
Sephardi yeshivot.

There is a distinct difference between Sephardi Psika and Ashkenazi psika in 
general, but mostly in attitude towards various issues.
