tion from Israel) is begin-
ning to come up in dis-
cussions with French
Jewish leaders as well as
with those who work with
the Fonds Social Juif Unifie
(FSJU) which coordinates,
supervises and plans social,
educational and cultural ac-
tivities of the. French
Jewish community.
The majority of those
coming from Israel to
France are those who.re-
tained French citizen-
ship. In Nice, (and Lyon
to the north) about 30
yordim families arrived
last year, in each city, at-
tracted in part by their
relatives who help them
get adjusted. If those
coming from Israel pos-
sess Fiench citizenship,
they can manage. It is,
however, the ones who do
not have .citizenship that
undergo difficulties. With
rising unemployment, it
is difficult to obtain a
work permit. Those who
need help receive it from
the Jewish community.
Back in the 1950's and
1960's several hundred
thousand North African
Jews poured into France.
Among them were the Jews
of Algeria, entitled to bene-
fits given to all Frenchmen,
including jobs and civil ser-
vant positions. Under the
Cremieux decree they were
French citizens.
Gabriel Bouaziz was one
of those. Born in Oran, he
fought with the Americans
in North Africa in World
War II. When Algeria be-
came independent and the
French departed, the Jews
went with them. Bouaziz
came to Cannes, a new im-
migrant. Several decades
later, he has risen to the
post of deputy major of Can-
nes and he also heads the
Jewish , community in the
city.
Not all the leadership of
French Jewry are newcom-
ers. Members of the
Rothschild family hold re-
spected posts. Baron Guy de
Rothschild is president of
FSJU; Baron Alain de
Rothschild is president of
the Consistoire and heads
the Representative Council
of Jewish Organizations in
France (CRIF); and Baron
Elie de Rothschild is active
in the French United
Jewish Appeal.
The rabbis of the Con-
sistoire of France are a
major force, for the Con-
sistoire has the responsi-
bility for all Jewish reli-
gious life in France. In
Lyon, to the north, the
Grand Rabbi of Lyon,
Rabbi Richard Wer-
tenschlag, is part of the
great traditions of rabbis
from Alsace-Lorraine. He
is from Metz, which is not
too far from Strasbourg.
The latter is known as the
"Jerusalem of France" —
the city which has pro-
vided the majority of the
chief rabbis of France.
The French Jewish com-
munity is united, especially
after the bombing of the Rue
Copernic synagogue in
Paris last October, though
the shock still lingers.
There is no panic. There are
problems, but no fear about
facing them.
This is no longer a new
community; the newcomers
have adjusted. The
Ashkenazim and Sephar-
dim have integrated. The
institutions have been es-
tablished. The foundation
has been built and it is time
for phase two: the
strengthening of the com-
munity. It is, after all the
second largest Jewish com-
munity in the Western
world, outside of Israel.
Are German Teen s Neo-Nazis?
BONN (JTA) — Officials
here and in Munich are in
dispute over whether a
teen-aged group in Bavaria
that conducts para-military
exercises is a successor to
the outlawed "Wehr-
sportsgruppe Hoffman," an
overt neo-Nazi organization
that masqueraded as a
sports club.
The group, which calls it-
self the "Bundeswehr Fan
Club," has been drilling in
uniform for several months
in the Neuburg area on the
Danube River:
It has been labeled neo-
Nazi by Alex Wernitz,
chairman of the Bundes-
tag's Interior Affairs Com-
mittee, and by Karl-Heinz
Hiersemann, vice president
of the Social Democratic
Party (SDP) faction in the
Bavarian state parliament.
Observers and officials
of various parties have
suggsted that the "Fan
Club" is trying to recruit
members and supported"
of the Hoffmann group'''.
But Gerold Tandler, the
Bavarian Minister of Inter-
ior, insists there is no evi-
dence supporting that
claim.
Nevertheless, the Bava-
rian state authorities have
promised to keep an eye on
Fan Club activities.
Arabs Polled
HAIFA (ZINS) — A sur-
vey conducted by an Arab
Professor at Haifa Univer-
sity shows that 58 percent of
Israeli Arabs are satisfied
with the Israeli law system,
55 percent respect
President Yitzhak Navon,
only 37 percent believe Is-
rael is a true democracy,
and only 14 percent have
confidence in Prime Minis-
ter Menahem Begin.
