Music Festival

The 14th annual Jewish Music
Festival, being observed Feb.
1 to March 1, will be celebrated

ter by the appearance of violin
virtuoso, Mischa Mischakoff,
with the Center Symphony Or-
chestra, Julius. Chajes. conduc-
tor, at 8:30 p.m., - Feb. 25, in
the Davison branch.
Known as "Toscanini's third
hand" during the 15 years he
served as concertmaster of the
great NBC Symphony, Mischak-
off, one of the great masters
of the violin, is currently con-
certmaster of the Detroit Sym-
phony Orchestra.
Internationally renowned, he
has made frequent global tours
since first fleeing his native
Russia where his career was
launched at the age of seven at
the Imperial Conservatory in
St. Petersburg. It was there he
met his life-long friend, Jascha
Heifets.
Last summer, after a success-
ful season with the Detroit Sym-
phony, Mischakoff toured the
eastern states with his stringed
quartette, and later appeared
as soloist in several Rocky
Mountain-area symphonies.
At Tuesday's concert, the
violinist will perform Mendels-
sohn's Concerto Op. 64 in E
Minor.
The orchestra will play, for
the first time in Detroit, "Fan-
fare to Israel," by Paul Ben-
Haim. The program will also
include "Little Suite No. 2 for
Strings," by Hugo Kauder;
"Hebrew Suite;" "Prayer—Walls
of Zion—Hora," by Chaj es;
"Three Oriental Dances," based
on melodies by N. C. Melamed
by Shabtai Petrushka; "Emek,"
a symphonic poem, by Marc
Lavry.
Tickets for the concert are
now available at the Davison

live in constant fear of being
uprooted and expelled. For they
are Jews in - an Arab • country,
and they feel that their days are
numbered. The Sultan is a mem-
ber of the Arab League, and
when the pressures of the
League become strong enough,
he will have to turn against the
Jews, who are a great source of
prosperity for his country.
It is in this vein of insecurity
that the young Jewish people
have grown up. A great major-
ity want to leave, and a few
poured their hearts out to me.
They have such great dreams
about America, and so many of
them would like to come here.
One young man told me how he
had visited our United States
Consulate in Tangier every
week for the last two years
without ever receiving a re-
sponse. Then there were others
who spoke of going to Canada,
where more visas are available
than for the United States, but
they had no money for the boat
fare nor hopes for jobs when
they arrived. We spoke a little
about Israel, but the majority
do not want to go there.
I feel we might be able to
help these fine young people if
we were more aware of their
sad plight.
Sincerely yours,

Views Moroccan Trip
Editor, The Jewish News:
I am an American college stu-
dent spending my junior year
in Europe studying at the Uni-
versity of Geneva. During our
winter holiday I had the oppor-
tunity to travel in Spain and
also to make a brief voyage to
Tangier.
Tangier is a city of many
contrasts: very modern, with
beautiful white buildings, large
beaches and new automobiles
everywhere. All these things
provide a startling contrast to
the "Old City" of the Arabs, the
veiled Arab women, their open
markets, the Arab men in flow-
ing robes, and their living quar-
ters of poverty and filth. I had
the good luck to know a Jewish
family there, which afforded
me the opportunity "to under-
stand some of the elements
which make up a city of three
great cultures.
I was amazed by the size of
the Jewish community of Tan-
gier—over 15,000 Jews in a city
of only 150,000 people. The
Jewish community is very close-
knit although they live all over
the city. Tangier is the only
city in Morocco where Jews do
not have their own quarter. My
friends took me about and in-
troduced me to many other
Jewish families and especially
to young people my own age. I
was warmly received, yet un-
derneath their gaiety I felt a
certain strain and seriousness.
It was only after talking with
these newly acquired friends
that I became aware of some of
the difficult problems faced by
these young people.
Although the Sultan of Mor-
occo is a fine person and sym-
pathetic to the Jews, the latter
