Abstract
ABSTRACT This article focuses on the ways philanthropy affects the socio-economic opportunities, cultures and identities among ethnicized Jewish Sephardic communities in mandatory Palestine. Using the case of scholarship fund established by Leon Yehouda Recanati, a Jewish Salonikan immigrant to Palestine and financier, the article uses combined historical-qualitative methods to argue that the ethnically oriented scholarly fund was expressive of two competing socio-cultural trajectories of ethnic philanthropy: inclusionary and exclusionary. The two intersecting trajectories gave birth to a novel ethno-national identity which could be defined a uniquely Sephardic-Zionist identity.
