SCENES AT JEWISH FUNERAL.
Hebrews Excited Over the Burial OF
a veneratcd Rabbi.

Most extraordinary scenes took
place in Tunis yesterday on The occa-
sion of the burial of Mouchi Berrebi,
the late Grand Rabbi of the Jews OF
the protectorate, a Y a Paris dispatch
to the London Telegraph. Hebrew
traditions are kept to the letter OF
the law in Tunis. especially as egard
funerals. About 5000 Jews Of all
classes '~thronged round the funeral
car, ~endeavoring to toushk the body
of the dead dignitary OF the syna-
gogue. The crush was enormous, Nhd
as the body had several times fallen
out of it's place the police took charge
of the funeral, and in strong force es'
corted the car to the cemetery. Here
further trouble arose. as a lot of peo-
pie wanted 10 throw earth into the
pillow.case which was to be placed
under the head of the grand rabbi in
his tomb. The police succeeded, with
great difficulty. in preserving order,
and with the help of fifteen voluntary
gravediggers, the body, In its white
shroud, was taken from the car and
consigned TO the earth. Before II was
carried down there was a final hsh
of people, who wanted to kiss the
slroud. Many also struggled to de-
scend into the grave for the purpose or
saluting the corpse for the last time,
but they were driven back by sheer
force. During the burial, which was
quickly, effected, owing to the crowds,
women in the cemetery pierced the
air with their heart.rending walls.
The explanation of these eXtraordi.
nary scenes is that the Jews of Tunis
considered that their grand rabbi had
died a saint. or, as the phrase xis
among Catholics, in the odor of sahc.
tity, and that whoever helped to carry
the body, kissed II, or even touched
the shroud of fine linen enveloping it,
received pardon for sins committed
and prnmises of heaven.
