When the State of Greater Lebanon was established in 1920, the Jewish Community Council of Beirut was officially recognized as the central administrative body within Lebanon, and although smaller communities such as Sidon and Tripoli also had their own councils they were consequently made subject to the authority of Beirut. In this context of political overhaul, I argue that some Jewish actors made use “from below” of political opportunities provided by sectarianism “from above”—or national sectarianism—to garner control over all Jewish political structures in Lebanon. But by examining in particular activities in and around the Israelite Community Council in Sidon (al-Majlis al-Milli al-Isra'ili bi-Sayda), I show how and why these attempts to practice new forms of sectarianism were met with resistance, despite connections that tied Lebanon's Jews together administratively in one community.

1920 年大黎巴嫩国成立时,贝鲁特犹太社区委员会被正式承认为黎巴嫩境内的中央行政机构,尽管西顿和的黎波里等较小的社区也有自己的委员会,但因此受制于当局贝鲁特。在这种政治改革的背景下,我认为一些犹太行为者利用“自下而上”的宗派主义或民族宗派主义提供的政治机会来控制黎巴嫩的所有犹太政治结构。但是通过研究西顿以色列社区委员会(al-Majlis al-Milli al-Isra'ili bi-Sayda)内部和周围的特定活动,我展示了这些尝试实施新形式宗派主义的尝试如何以及为何遭到抵制,尽管与黎巴嫩有联系”
