Moroccan Jews, too, are
very traditional. Those who
are religious are Orthodox,
as Orthodoxy was the only
tradition practiced in Mo-
rocco. They are very attach.
ed to Judaism. Despite what-
ever feelings they have about
the .way Moroccans are
treated in Israel, they are
very pro-Israel. They are at-
tached to Israel and they
rejoice that there is a state
of Israel. Their first project
is to raise funds for a youth
center in the development
town of Dimona.
About one-third of the
Moroccan Jewish community
in the U.S. lived in Israel
and nearly everyone has
family in. the Jewish state.
Their occupations here
vary. Many have had to
adapt, and even change their
occupations. Many were in
banking , in Morocco, as
Sephardic Jews Were the
bankers for much of the
Middle East. A number of
Moroccan Jews here are col-
lege professors and bankers.
But most are engaged in
small retail store businesses;
and interestingly, serve as
women's hairdressers, an-
other Moroccan Jewish occu-
pation.
Nearly everyone speaks
French and the announce-
ments • at socials are usually
in French and English.
There is a large group from
Spanish Morocco which
speaks Spanish.
Moroccans came here be
fore World War II. They
emigrated to the U. S ; be-
cause of the shadows of war
covering Europe. However,
the newcomers want to bring
all Moroccan Jews together
and to let the American Jew
ish community know that
they are here.
They are trying to keep
their Sephardic tradition.
About two years ago, the
Sephardic Jewish Center in
Queens brought from Israel the American Sephardi Fed-
