The Biton Committee — formally known as The Committee for the Empowerment of the Culture of Sephardic and Eastern Jewry in the Educational System — whose recommendations were published July 7, has provoked an expected and populistic debate full of ignorance and harsh criticism.
It’s a shame, because the Biton Committee is one of the most important things that has happened here in recent years in all that relates to the attempt to create a common national and cultural narrative that does not prefer one group or erase the other.
