The Arizona post., 1958-10-17

The problem first came to
light in a letter received at
the CaSablanca office of the
Joint Distribution Committee
a few months ago from some
one named Chakib M. Alb
derrahman. Actually, the let
ter was signed "Caid Cha
kib." A caid is a judge. Caid
Chakib is also the Sheikh of
Bzou. He is also the post
master.
In his letter Caid Chakib
stated that he had heard
about the wonderful work
that the JDC was doing for
Jews in Morocco. II have
Jews in my town too," he
wrote Indignantly. "They are
very poor and they need very
much help. Why don't you do
something for my Jews"
His letter then went on to
list 16 Jewish families, num-
bering 130 men, women and
children, living in Bzou, and
asked for immediate ship
ment of food and clothing to
them.
NOBODY IN the JDC Of
flee had ever heard of Bzou,
let alone that there was a
Jewish community there. Fin
ally it was located on the
map. Two days later a JDC
staff member made the four
hour trip from Marrakech
into BZou.
Bzou is an old settlement,
at one time very much larger
than it is now, and situated
The Arizona post., 1958-10-17

on one of the trails by which
the camel and donkey cara
vans cross the Atlas noun
tains in going between the
desert in the south and the
plain. n-.citieS in the north. The
main auto routes cross the
mountains elsewhere, and
since their construction Bzou
has dWindled in Importance
and in population, for even
the majority of the caravans
now follow the auto routes.
Eventually the town will dis
appear, for it has lost it's
raison d'etre. In the mean
time, however, there are, as
Chakib wrote, still 16 Jewish
families left.
The decline in the fortunes
of Bzou has been particularly
hard on the Jewish popula-
ton, for virtually their only
occupation is saddle-making.
For centuries now they have
been the traditional makers
and members of camel and
donkey saddles, and today
there are fewer and fewer
saddles to make and mend.
Unlike their MoSlem neigh
bors, they don't own little bits
of terrace land on which they
can raise some food for them
selves.
MANY HAVE already left,
some going to Israel, some
swelling the Jewish popula-
tions of the already over
crowded mellahs (ghettoes)
in the larger cities. But these

16 families still remain.

16 families still remain.
The first shipment of food,
including a generous amount
of us. Department of Agri-
culture surplus supplies, has
already been sent into the
town by JDC. A distribution
of clothing has been made
for the 81 Jewish children.
Funds for JDCS activities in
Morocco, like other aspects
of it's overseas programs, are
provided by the United Jew
ish Appeal.
Eventually all the Jews of
Bzou will leave, seeking an
escape from poverty and lack
of opportunity, seeking COM
munitieS where their children
will get schooling and have
contact with other Jewish
children. In the meantime,
however, the good Caid Cha
kib is happy-HIS Jews are
being taken care of, like the
others in Morocco.
