This post makes no sense.

First of all, Stephen, if the Koran promises the land of Israel to Jews forever, why the unremitting Arab hostility to the state of Israel and the continued calls for a united Palestine from the river to the sea? Don't those Muslims read the same Koran?

Many Jews are very aware of the Sephardic influence, so I fail to understand the point of your essay. Descendents of Ashkenazi Jews follow Ashkenazi minhag, but that certainly does not mean that they are unaware of the work of Maimonides, Nachmanides, Judah Halevi and the Spanish Kabbalists.

In what way should Jews return to the Sephardic legacy? Slightly variant haftarah readings? Or are you arguing that Ashkenazi Jews are anti-Muslim for no reason and they should follow the 'more open minded' Sephardic worldview? Perhaps its the Muslims who need to return to the supposed Ottoman tolerance. Which was lacking when the majority of Sephardic Jews were ousted from their lands after the foundation of the state of Israel. Tolerant, indeed.
