In order to be able to represent Sephardi and Mizrahi history as a "multilayered and heterogenous tale," as it should be told, we must be able to handle the difficulty of believing all stories, even contradictory ones, even the ones that only empha-size violence and those which deny it. As researchers, we are the recipients of this tension, these conflictual experiences of Sephardi migrants. The ability to hold this tension without resolving it may be the core of our symbolic and moral legacy, as Miccoli seems to suggest.- Angy Cohen (Canadian Jewish Studies)
