The Jewish outlook., 1904-10-21
OCTOBER Fl, 1904.
Jewish Life in Africa

Africa, the oldest country known,
was for long time impenetrable. 1t
is not necessary for me to explain the
causes for this here but it must be said
that African Judaism, too, was for a
long time "dark." To such an extent
is this the case that at the present time
occidental Judaism still knows it only
imperfectly, specifically. And yet the
Alliance Israelite Universelle, an in
comparable Jewish institution, has for
many years been bending all its ener-

their superhuous wealth for the anchor

for whom life is an eternal problem :

The Jews of Africa in great part
preserve the native Arab costume, which
wins for them some slight friendliness
from the fierce Mohammedans, for whom
the Roumi (the Christian, the Euro
pean) is the implicable, the eternal
enemy. The Jew wishes to conciliate
the Mussulmans, to win their confidence
and to facilitate commercial relations
with them. One thing is certain, the
Arabs regard this fidelity to their ma
tional costume as touching attention,
but they feel also that the Jews do not
try to elevate themselves above them, to
escape their authority, their hatred. 1t
really seems to those who know the Mus
sulmans that the dream Of the ancient
splendor of their race has produced this
attitude Of authority and enables them
to bear the heavy burden of their pres
ent eternal misery, more easily.
Hence that the African Jews show
marked preference for the Arab lang

French in Tunis and Algiers, Spanish
in Oran and Morocco, and Italian else
where, Arabic always remains their
mother tongue, in which they excel in
the figures of speech, terms of phrases
and maXims that are neither profound
nor original. Their Arabic is mixture
of Hebraisms and forms a .Judpo- Ara
bic jargon, a sort of abortivc graft. Our
co-religionists have only one excuse for
preserving the almost exclusive use of
Arabic-it serves them admirably with
the Arabs. They cultivate the useful
rather than the agreeable.
The ghetto, the costume and the Ian

himself in wonder whether it is true that
these are cO-religionists of his people

be correct to draw a comparison between
them and the Mussulmans. he is struck
with the points of resemblance and the
great possibility of confounding them.
The deeper you enter into study OF

truth becomes. I express it thus Ori
