| | Mizrahi Jews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most of the many notable philosophical, religious, and grammatical works of the Mizrahim were written in Arabic using a modified Hebrew alphabet. | | | In a larger context, the terms are sometimes used to refer to other Jewish communities living in the Islamic World, although most of these communities predate Islam. | | | Today, as many as 40,000 Mizrahim still remain in communities scattered throughout the Muslim world, primarily in Iran, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan. |

| | Chapter 11 |
| | It is important to note that this Zionist ambivalence towards Mizrahim echoed the Christian ambivalence toward the Jews as, on the one hand, the carriers of the Hebraica Veritas or the ancient Hebrew truth, and, on the other, as those who rejected the gospel, in context of the Enlightenment and European culture. | | | As in the European debate regarding the Jews, both sides to the debate shared the assumption that the Mizrahim had be changed, and could not be integrated as they were. | | | One might agree with Kramer that the position of the Jews produced a different kind of sensitivity, one determined by Jewish education and the knowledge of “oriental” languages, as well as by the fact that orientalist discourse was addressed also towards them. |

| | A Big Piece Is Missing In This "Peace" |
| | From my perspective as a Mizrahi, the Arab-Israel struggle is rooted in an ancient tribal and religious battle, in which Arabs and their forebears have had the upper hand for over a thousand years. | | | But I am a Jew, and this reality must be acknowledged and addressed. | | | But one thing is certain: When Mohammed began the Islamic religion, he initially embraced the Jews, hoping to convert them. |

| | Gene Expression: The history of the Jews...a very special people...sort of |
| | I have had the repeated experience of both Jews and Hindus proudly declaring to me that their religion is the only religion where they do not attempt to convert others. | | | Religious Christians and Muslims will give Jews special importance in the constellation of peoples because of the character of their religions. | | | In the Ottoman state, which welcomed Sephardic Jews, there was still some separation between the newcomers and the resident Jewish communities, though also likely a great deal of admixture (likely with the higher status Sephardic identity being dominant). |

| | Gene Expression: Metzenberg on Jews |
| | In the Judaism of the Second Temple period, Jews had supported a professional class of priests, who by tradition are descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses. | | | But the wealthiest and most established Jews in London at that time were descendants of Sephardim who came to England in the 18th century, not of more recent Ashkenazi immigrants. | | | Perhaps the ultimate testimony to the importance of religious scholarship among Jews is that Hebrew, an ancient language used only for religious purposes for nearly 2500 years, has been reborn as a modern language. |

| | The Head Heeb: Two ways to be an Arab Jew |
| | There was no Mizrahi identity before the Jews of Muslim countries came to Israel, just as there was no Mohajir (immigrant?) identity among Muslims in UP, Bihar and Gujarat, or from wherever else in India the muslims came. | | | Regardless, however, it is certainly true that there are no doubt many Jews who stand against the traditional idea of a Jewish people; no doubt many individuals that consider themselves to be Germans of the Mosaic faith, and so on. | | | There aren't any more Jews being raised in communities like prewar Baghdad (and to a lesser extent Cairo), where Jews were assimilated almost to a Western European degree complete with European-style anti-Semitism. |

| | Post-Zionism and the Sephardi Question - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2005 |
| | Shiko Behar, a Mizrahi post-Zionist writer, asserts that identity in the Middle East today is shaped around post-colonial nationalism, not the religious division between Muslim and non-Muslim Arabs. | | | One of the main complaints of this radical intellectual school is the belief that Zionism destroyed the Mizrahi sense of community and culture by forcing the adoption of new "Zionist" and "Israeli" identities so as to eradicate any threat of a Mizrahi-Arab alliance. | | | Although intermarriage between Mizrahi and Ashkenazi families takes place in growing numbers and might eventually lead to the end of the discrimination, two distinct ethnic identities and subcultures still exist today. |

| | The rise of the right-wing Likud party to power in 1977, largely on the votes of working-class Easterners, which empowered the mizrahi Jews politically for the first time since the massive immigration of the 1950s, is sometimes perceived as a major turning point in the rise of public attention to musiqa mizrahit. | | | A feeling that their "own" were governing the country, gave the mizrahi Jews a sense of added legitimacy and allowed them to express their ethnicity without endangering their status as Israelis. | | | Prominent among these imported musical styles were the songs performed by Greek singers who appeared or established themselves in Israel, such as Aris San, or mellow Mediterranean ballads in the style of the Sanremo festival in Italy. |
