housewives from hopping
across the border to La Linea,
Spain for shopping, and rich
men's yachts ply casually
from Gibraltar's fine marina
to the jet-set playground of
Marbella, on Spain's southern
coast. But political relations
are still sometimes tense, and
the Gibraltarians are fierce in
their allegiance to London.
For the Jewish traveller
mining the famous cities of
southern Spain in search of
the Golden Age, Gibraltar's
uniqueness lies in the special
atmosphere of coexistence of
which the Jewish community
is so proud, and in which it
has flourished for centuries.
Wandering through the
Juderia (Jewish section) of
Seville or the single surviving
and unused synagogue in
Cordoba, it is hard to conjure
up those centuries of Jewish
vitality and mutually
enriching coexistence with
the wider world.
Gibraltar, in its own tiny
way, can help. Not just
because the popular chief
minister happens to be
Jewish, or the mayor, or the
head of the bar, or the chair-
man of the chamber of com-
merce. But also because the
Jewish shops on Main Street
are all closed on the Sabbath
and festivals, and that seems
perfectly natural to everyone.
Because the Israeli flag flies
from the honorary consul's of-
fice from sunset Friday to
nightfall Saturday. Because
the Catholic archbishop at-
tends a brit milah and the
governor attends synagogue
on Chanukah
Because a leader of the local
British Legion is Capt. (Ret.)
Solomon Levy, whose boom-
ing bass rings out at services
at his synagogue.
Levy's brother James is
president of the Gibraltar
Jewish community. He is a
senior partner in Sir Joshua
Hassan's law office. He is also
active with accountant Moses
Garson and other business-
men in Gibraltar's flourish-
ing new enterprises as an
"offshore" financial center.
People say James Levy is
tempted to run for political of-
fice,
Like his brother, James
loves Gibraltar with a pas-
sion. But he is torn, he says,
and may soon move away —
because there is no Jewish
high school.
He himself went to a local
monastery-school where the
monks, he recalls, would cut
down branches for the Jewish
children to take home for
their succot.
