To preserve this music, much of which is custom- arily handed down by oral tradition only, the AJC asked Victor Malka,.son of a former grand rabbi of Casablanca, to create a tape anthology of typical chants and melodies. The resulting program in- cludes not only p'rayers and religious poems set to music and chants for the High Holi- days and other festivals, but also popular Juaeo-Arabic tunes and Moroccan melodies currently being played in Israel. One of the most striking characteristics of present- day Moroccan Jewish liturgy is its fidelity to Iberic sources, to "ala," music born in Andalusia in Moorish times and brought to North Africa by the emigres from Spain, according to a brief note on the history of Moroc- can Jewish music accom- panying the AJC-sponsored tape anthology. Jewish musicians helped give rise- to this music 1,000 years ago • and later, when coming from Spain to Morocco. adapted the AndaJ lusian strains so similar to the flamenco couplets they knew from Granada and Malaga to classic Hebrew texts. Such Jewish liturgical selections, indeed, have acted as caretaker for Andalusian music that eventually dis- appeared in Islam. The tape-anthology selec- tions testify to the widely varied origin of Moroccan • CERTI-BOOK CERTIFICATE 1 9 0 2 Yields 6.66% annually.

The shakeup, long under discussion, is seen by some Lebanese as the most signifi- can't change since the coun- try gained independence from a French mandate during World War II, the New York Times reported. _Since Lebanon's independ- ence, political and top appoint- ive posts have been distrib- uted proportionally, accord- ing to the long-outdated 1932 census, among Maronites and other Christians, Sunni Moslems, Shiite Moslems, Druze and minorities includ- ing Armenians. Traditionally, the president is a Maronite, the premier a Sunni Moslem and the speaker of parlia- ment a' Shiite Moslem. The 1932 census shows the ratio of Christians over non- Christians as 6 to 5. Power has been distributed accord- ingly. However, Moslems who maintain a higher birth rate, now believe that they are in the majority. Friday, March 1, 1974-17 Jewish music. This includes Berber as well as Iberic strains and even, according to some authorities, melodies descending directly from the Second Temple, brought by Jews who came to North Africa in the early centuries of the Common Era, and Selihot melodies dating from the 6th Century similar to Middle Age song. --- Represented in the anthol- ogy, too, are the "bakkahot," the supplications, interpreted by carefully rehearsed choral groups singing away for hours from 2 a.m. until it was time for the regular Sat- urday prayers. During these religious wakes, "mahia," the strong local drink re- sembling -vodka, was served. Or—after the rabbis forbade this because it could lead to drunkenness — mint tea. Such "wakes" once were customary throughout Moroc- co but today take place only in Casablanca, irregularly. Such bakkahot attained dis- tinction in Morocco thanks to a rabbi poet, David Bouzaglo, who re-established the au- thentic traditional melodies. Rabbi Bouzaglo, who is blind and now lives in Israel, is recognized as one of the great experts on Andalusian music. The anthology in- cludes several pieces sung by the rabbi or his disciples. Hungarian Ghetto Liberation Marked BUDAPEST (JTA)—Seven top Communist Party offi- cials, along with members of the Jewish community, attended a ceremony recent- ly commemorating the Rus- sian liberation of Jews from the Budapest "ghetto" in World War II. In what some observers called a rare happening in Communist countries, the party officials accompanied the group to the. synagogue of Budapest, where the cere- mony ended. Released when the Red Army arrived, Jews had been confined to the downtown Budapest "ghetto" and were going to be put on trains and deported to German camps. Dutch Up Payments to Victims of Nazis AMSTERDAM (J T A) — Government monthly com- pensation payments to vic- tims of Nazi persecution in The Netherlands during World War II have been raised to 1,500 guilders to off- set the rise in the cost of liv- ing. The increase will also ap- ply to ,payments to victims of Japanese persecution in the Dutch East Indies during this period. Seven thousand of the 23,000 compensation payment appli- cations in The Netherlands were made by Jews. Since processing so many applications is long, the gov- ernment has agreed to make advance monthly payments to those whose applications have been under review long- er than eight months.
