Moadim Lesimjá (Simcha)! Friday’s Sephardi World Weekly featured articles on Kol Nidre in Tunis, Tunisia, Erez Bitton’s Radical Report, Moroccan Lemons for Sukkot, and Rocking El Nora AlilaThis Week’s Articles:1.) ASF Director of Publications Aryeh Tepper explains how the Bitton Report, by rooting Israeli identity in its Middle Eastern context, undercuts both the socialist-concocted “negation of the diaspora,” as well as the “fashionable journalistic and academic trend that removes the experience of Mizrahi Jews from its national, Jewish context and leverages Mizrahi suffering to attack the State of Israel.”2.) According to estimates, there may be 100 million Bnei anusim in the world today, descendants of Sephardi Jews who underwent forced conversion during the Inquisition. Many of these Bnei Anusim are awakening to their Jewish ancestry, and some even aspire to return to Israel, dreaming of the day when hundreds of thousands of descendants of Sephardim, “from Cuba, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, India, South America, the [Fuerteventura - Canary Islands] and Southwestern United States,” return home.3.) A Tunisian recording of #Kol_Nidre from the 1960’s is remarkable on a number of levels. First, the record, “constitutes a rare glimpse into the sonic world of [Tunisian Jewish] religious life in the 1960s.” Second, in a departure from the traditional synagogue practice, the performance is accompanied by a Qanun. Lastly, the record, “helps shine a light on the 'En Nour'… label on which it was released and which seems to have specialized in Tunisian Jewish music throughout the early independence period.”4.)
