Fisher- men weigh, slice and wrap the fresh-caught fish for their customers, while tourists watch the activity, their cameras clicking. Others wander over to the massive vessel Neptune, built as the stage set for the film Pirates and now docked at the colorful Old Port. And still others simply enjoy the sight of the water and the hills in the distance. It's not surprising that most tourists to Marseille are drawn immediately and often to the colorful Old Port. Of special interest to the Jewish traveler is the way this port city has served as an impor- tant gateway for Jews. Since 1962, when Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco gained in : dependence from France, thousands of French-speaking Jews from North Africa head- ed for the great port of Marseille. They came in such numbers that Marseille is now the se- cond largest Jewish com- munity in France and the third largest in all of Western Europe, after London and Paris. For the Jewish traveler, the city provides the chance to visit a city that has a distinc- tive Jewish flavor. A sister ci- ty to Haifa, Marseille has 23 synagogues, a Jewish day school, and five kosher restaurants. There's a Jewish radio station, Jewish newspaper published six times a year, a full-facility Jewish community center — and a genuine enthusiasm of North African Jews for their adopted city. "We don't just like Marseille. We love Marseille. It's a very special city," says Marcel Drei, sitting in his of- fice at the Jewish Communi- ty Center not far from the center of town. "I'm a Mediterranean," says Algerian-born Drei, who serves as cultural director of the Jewish Community Center, "and when I go to Jerusalem, I feel the same mood there as here because Marseille has the soul of a Mediterranean city!' As he talks, he leads the way out of his office and across the outdoor patio to the synagogue. Built in 1864, this is the largest and grandest of the city's synagogues. Its in- terior is beautiful, with graceful arches, vividly painted ceiling, glass chandeliers and ornate Byzantine style design. "More and more Jewish visitors are coming to Marseille!' Drei says, "and they're often surprised to see such a beautiful synagogue here!' Quite often, he adds, they're fortunate enough to visit when a festive Sephardic wed- ding is taking place; wed- dings are frequent in this Jewish community of the young. Over 50 percent of the Jews in Marseille, Drei says, are under 30 years old. The community directs itself to the needs of its youth. Some 2,000 youngsters at- tend Talmud Torah school, and 400 are enrolled in Ecole Yavne, the Jewish day school. "It's very important to us to build schools and educational centers!" Drei says. "This is the future for our communi- ty."
