JERUSALEM — Avraham
Avi-hai, a 41-year-old Is-
raeli, has just finished what
he believes to be the first
doctoral dissertation on Da-
vid Ben-Gurion.
The project took two years,
and Avi-hai, who was born
in Canada but came to Is-
rael in 1952, enjoyed the full
cooperation of the former
prime minister. There are,
of course, books about B-G,
but thus far, no PhD thesis,
according to Avi-hai's in-
quiries.

86, granted two four-hour in-

Oran Cemetery Will Be Razed
PARIS (JTA) — Workers
in the Jewish cemetery of
Oran, Algeria, have begun
exhuming bodies in the cen-
tury-old Jewish burial place,
which is to be razed on Al-
gerian government orders for
a highway linking Oran to
Algiers.
Former Algerian Jews now
in France are financing the
exhumation, as the local au-
thorities were planning sim-
ply to destroy the graves and
bury the bodies in a com-
munal grave.
Several former Oranese
chief rabbis are buried in
the cemetery.

1948-1963 and takes the
reader just up to Ben-Cur-
ion's resignation as prime
minister.
The dissertation, which has
been written for Columbia
University, focuses on the
state-building aspect of the
Israeli leader's career. ''It
was B-G's concept of mam-
lakhtiut, of asserting the
overriding importance of the
state as against any other
institution in the society, that
characterized h i s poLUcal
career more than anything,"
says Avi-hai.
Avi-hai points to Ben-Gur-
ion's efforts to reduce the
role of the Iiistadrut and the
Zionist Organization within
Israeli society to illustrate
his belief in the importance
of the state.
"The entire relationship
between Israel and West

In a gesture of "appease-
ment " the Algerian govern-
ment has decided to remove
a local mosque from the
city's main synagogue build-
ing.
Two years ago the mosque
took over the building which
housed one of the country's
oldest and best known syna-
gogues.
Under a recent government
ruling, a local social and
cultural club will be housed
in the building.
Eye-witness reports from
Oran say that workers have
already started removing
prayer stands, carpets and
objects of worship from the
building, and the entire re-
moval Is due to be completed
within a fortnight.
There are only about 40
Jews, mainly elderly, left in
Oran where 35,000 Jews
lived before the country's
independence.
A representative of the
city's former Jewish com-
munity is currently in Oran
to supervise the cemetery ex-
humation and to cooperate
with the authorities in the
removal of the mosque from
the synagogue building.
Most of the synagogue's
objects of worship have been
transferred to newly estab-
lished synagogues in France

right to speak as though this
is the special burden of the
Jewish community and its
leaders."
Rabbi Casper, defending
his Rosh Hashana message,
added: "When I reflect on
the conditions in which
3,000,000 Jews live in the
Soviet Union, when I think
of Jews in Arab lands, above
all, when I consider our re-
cent past, it seems to me that
there is nothing improper or
immoral in saying that the
Jews of South Africa feel
grateful for living in this
country. We live as full citi-
zens while showing our con•
cern for our brethren in
every part of the world."
