Abstract
This article explores the sense of belonging among North African Jews in Québec, drawing on the narratives of 18 individuals from different generations whom I interviewed in Montréal. The article is structured in two parts. In the first part, I examine how first-generation North African Jews navigated their identities through interactions with post-Catholic Québécois culture. I argue that their integration was facilitated by language, though, as I discuss, the linguistic blending of the participants and the Québécois did not shield first-generation North African Jews from experiencing discrimination. The second part shifts focus to the 1.5 and second generations, exploring how their experiences reflect the growing prominence of religious identity over linguistic identity. The findings suggest that younger interviewees – primarily Generation X and millennial individuals who are more fluent in English than their parents – are more vocal about feeling excluded in Québec based on their ethnicity, religion, and language/accent.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
