ABSTRACT The article examines changes in the commemoration work and memorial discourse surrounding the first Sephardi Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel, Rabbi Ben-Tzion Meir Hai Uziel. While commemoration work in the public sphere in Israel has dwindled over the years, there has been a revival of memory discourse in recent years, especially amongst Religious Zionists. The article proposes reasons for this resurgence, including a response to processes of Haredization of the Sephardi spiritual leadership in Israel and a quest for a source of inspiration for a moderate, Zionist Orthodox rabbinate.

拉比 Uziel 的图像及其在他的纪念中的位置

摘要 本文考察了围绕以色列国首任塞法迪首席拉比拉比本-齐安·梅尔·海·乌齐尔 (Rabbi Ben-Tzion Meir Hai Uziel) 的纪念工作和纪念话语的变化。虽然多年来以色列公共领域的纪念工作有所减少，但近年来记忆话语有所复苏，尤其是在宗教犹太复国主义者中。文章提出了这种复兴的原因，包括对以色列塞法迪精神领袖哈雷化进程的回应，以及为温和的犹太复国主义东正教拉比寻求灵感来源。
