Yes, they normally do, but they also have a lot of the features of their native country. I think Jews in Italy are more integrated than those in Russia.

It depends, well Albert Einstien was from Germany and he does not really look like an ethnic German. I have seen Jews that do not look very much like the native people of the country where they are originally from. Yet of course I have met a Jew before that had an Nordic appearance. Of course you have people like Natalie Portman and Goldie Hawn that does not at all look ethnically Jewish.

A Jew is more of a culture than a race. Yet there is DNA evidence that the Ashkenazim (German and East European Origin) and the Sephardim (Spanish and Portuguese Origin) are related and have its origins from the Middle East

Ashkenazis are originally Khazar (Turk tribe) from Central Asia who converted to Judaism while Sephardics are the original jews have their origin in the middle east.

As someone who's of half Italian and half Ashkenazi-Jewish descent, I'd say that the two are very close For me, both groups meet somewhere around mid chest cavity
