Both sides in turbulent North Africa want Jews

If the Jews continue they have DONE to ignore Arab

If they the nationasts support the full claims
for independence of the Moroccans they will trigger

To resolve this dilemma World Jewish Congress leaders
flew last month to Geneva for all too hurried get together
before proceeding to the neghborng lakeside resort Of AK
les Bans in neghbong France to confer with French and
Moroccan leaders on the fate of 100000 Jews
To judge from the delicate wording of the communique
issued after the weekend round of talks it obvious that the
dilemma still remains ALI VIC leaders could from the
diplomats promise that Jews would be treated
in Morocco with full rights
The Arabs added the provision that the Jews adap
themselves to the situation. Nothing said about
emigration Nothing said about compensation and nothing
was said about what these rights" actually entail

MOROCCAN JEWRY'S DILEMMA

The biggest issue today of all world
JewrY's many problems is the sad
plight of the $4,000 Jews of North
Africa's Morocco. In this weeks mail
we received the following dispatch
from David Loven. our J. T. A. Cor
respondent in Geneva. who gives a
clear picture Of what is taking place
in Morocco and the hazardous posi-
ton in which the Jewish people there
find themselves. Says Loven:

QUESTION: What is "Achron?"
ANSWER: The term "Achron"
means last. This name is usually
given to the last of those who are
called up to the Torah to have a
portion read for them, or the last
Of the "Aiiyahs.''
=
QUESTION: Why is this honor
considered so important. so as to
be better than others?
ANSWER: There is a Midrashic
expression which claims that the
last is the dearest. The famous
commentor RASH" used this ex-
preston to explain why Jacob ar
ranged his family with Rachel to-
ward the last Genesis 1922. It
was customary to bestow the
honor of conclusion upon a be-
loved or respected individual.
The commentaries claim that
this "Achron" of the Aliyahs
being called to the Torah had
added significance. Originally not
everyone who was called to the
Torah made blessing over it.
Only the first man made the first
blessing and only the last man
made the last blessing. Since the
first honor went to the "Kohen"
the only way in which an Israel
tie could make the blessing over
the Torah was to relieve the last
honor. Thus, it became a cherish
ed honor to look forward to.
Also, it is explained by the
commentaries, the last "Aliyah"
gave the man who received it the
privilege of rolling up the Scroll.
This means that the greatest
honor went to the last person be-
cause he not only made the bless
ing; he also rolled up the Torah.
Today, even though everyone
makes a blessing, and an addi-
tional person is called to roll up
the Torah, the distinction of this
"Achron" honor still remains as
memory of the great honor once
attached to it, as well as perhaps
the feeling that the last is still the
best"

QUESTION: What is the proper
time and place to name a new
baby "girl?"
ANSWER: In the olden days in
France it was a custom to bring
the baby girl into the synagogue
to name her. In the old Sephardic
communities it was a custom to
make a party in the home of the
mother and there to give the
name. Our custom today is to
have the father visit the syna-
gogue, to be called to the Torah,
to thank the Almightye for the
safety of his wife and child, to
pledge charity and there to have
the baby girl named. This is con-
sidered as a token in place of the
sacrifice of thanks that was once
offered thanking the Almighty for
such good tidings. Not having a
temple or an altar as of old, the
synagogue and it's "Bimah" SYM
bolize these things. The naming is
given at the first opportunity that
the father gets to visit the syna-
gogue on a day in which the
Torah is read.
