JERUSALEM — The Israel
Museum is displaying the life
style of one of the most color-
ful Jewish communities in
the Diaspora. Thousands of
Jews lived in Morocco and
their history goes back to
the days of Carthage, Rome
and the expulsion of the
Jews from Spain in 1492.
Colorful gilt dresses, some
of them showing traditions
500 to 2,000 years old, are
displayed, together with a
large variety of carpets,
clothes, jewels, and other
everyday items characteristic
of 1\loroccan Jewry.
Three of the largest halls
in the museum are devoted I

them there is an accurate

ghetto, the mella, which was
rebuilt complete with work-

craftsmen. Many visitors

It took four years to gather
the material and study the
subject of this exhibition. It
was done by the ethno-
graphic department of the
museum, with the help of the
friends of the museum and
especially Baroness Alix de
Rothschild.
Items were loaned by mu-
seums in France, Amster-
dam and Stockholm. Many
items were loaned by Moroc-
can immigrants and were
added to the large collection
which exists in the museum
stores.

Weisgals Greeted
on 50th Anniversary
AIM HIGH!
NEW YORK—The thanks
and "very best wishes of Is-
rael's people" for his "in-
valuable contributions to our
land's science, art and cul-
ture" were conveyed to
Meyer W. Weisgal Sunday
by Israel President Ephraim
Katzir.
The occasion was the 50th
wedding anniversary of
Meyer and Shirley Weisgal,
which was celebrated Sunday
day at a garden party given
by his children, Mendy,
Helen and David, at Men-
derly, his elder son's home in
Roxbury, Conn.
Now chancellor of the Weiz-
mann Institute of Science at
Rehovot, Weisgal was its
principal architect and chief
executive officer for 25 years
from its founding until the
end of 1969, when he retired.
From 1966 to 1969, he served
as the institute's president.
An embossed scroll signed
by 150 members of the Weiz-
• ann Institute arrived in
time to be presented at the
party.
A flowering tree, the gift
of the staff of the American
Committee for the Weizmann
Institute, will be planted in
front of the Weisgal home in
Rehovot upon their return to
Israel next
