Abstract:
A study of five cases of Sephardic Jews who settled in the Eastern Mediterranean, and whose lives spanned the mid sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries, allows one to identify among them an attitude of skepticism toward authority, whether religious or political. This skeptical tradition often placed these Jews in conflict not only with Christian authorities, but also with rabbis and other conservative Jews. In more recent times, this skeptical attitude was translated into a disenchantment and suspicion of nationalisms of all sorts, including Zionism.
