note = "Funding Information: Two contemporary phenomena illustrate these respective forms of reaction. The “Biton report on the empowerment of Mizrachi and Sephardic heritage in the education system” is a comprehensive and academically substantiated proposal (Biton Report 2016). It aims to lead a significant shift in the instruction of history, theory and literature, Israel studies, and civic studies, and to enforce the mandatory incorporation of Mizrachi thinkers, writers, and poets into school curricula, and the instruction of Mizrachi and Sepharadi Jewish history. Additionally, the report includes recommendations for improving the operation of various entities and functions under the Ministry of Education, including the Council of Higher Education and its budget and planning committee, research universities, museums, and informal education institutions. The Biton Committee report can be seen as an assertive demand for full, egalitarian ownership of Israeli culture and its development. It expresses a growing social and cultural self-assurance and a sense of belonging to Israeli culture on the part of Sephardic and Mizrachi Jews based on their own cultural sources.",
