The Jewish population began
to increase significantly during
the 1960s, and by 1975, the con-
gregation had built a new syna-
gogue on Winter Street.
This Reform congregation
now numbers 365 member fam-
ilies (about 800 individual mem-
bers), making it the largest
congregation on the Cape.
We walked from the foyer to
the spacious and light-filled
sanctuary, which seats 220 wor-
shippers. This is where Rabbi
Harold Robinson conducts Shab-
bat services every Friday
evening. A Massachusetts na-
tive, he's been with the congre-
gation for 18 years. As we looked
around, we especially noted the
eternal light, shaped liked a
burning bush and the bronze
candlesticks and candelabra.
These were all commissioned
works created by New England
artists.
We also saw the social hall
where varied programs and
meetings are held, including
adult education and youth pro-
grams.
Next we went into the newer
wing of the building, which was
built in 1982 to accommodate a
library and religious school. The
school enrollment has been
growing steadily, and it now
serves 160 students.
The library was open. People
sat reading at comfortable ta-
bles. Others looked for books
that filled shelves from floor to
ceiling. "Our library is one of the
foremost Judaic libraries in the
Northeast," Ms. Jochnowitz said
with pride, explaining that it's

Also in this wing was the prin-
cipal's office, where Bruce Malin
was busy at work. He's not only
principal of the Hebrew school
but also cantor for the congrega-
tion; and on this afternoon he was
finalizing plans for the cantorial
concert held at the synagogue
every August.
Cantors from the Greater
Boston area join him to partici-
pate in this annual summer
event. "We have so many visitors
to the Cape in the summer that
the concert seemed a good idea,"
said Mr. Malin, who originated
the idea 10 years ago.
He also leads the Cape Cod
Synagogue Youth Choir. The
group performs during the town's
annual Holocaust Memorial Ser-
vice, and often sings during Shab-
bat services.
Leaving the new wing, we
stopped outdoors to admire the
grounds and garden, just as sum-
mer visitors often do. Because
this is a prime resort area, there's
a huge influx of visitors during
peak tourist season.
Quite often, they are surprised
to find the Cape Cod Synagogue
and its well-attended services,
said Ms. Jochnowitz. Some ex-
pect no Jewish life at all in an
area where church spires are a
much more typical sight than
Stars of David, and where Jews
are only a tiny fraction of the pop-
ulation.
But the Cape Cod Synagogue
is visible and convincing evidence
that Jewish life is thriving in this
Yankee environment. ❑

t's a quiet posh residential area
in Marrakesh, Morocco. The
house, painted in the typical
pinkish tone of southern Mo-
rocco, would be considered a man-
sion with it's turret-like section,
high gates, walled front, multi-col-
ored tiles and large carved doors.
However, this private home is
about to turned into a kosher
restaurant, the only other being
in the Hotel Pullman Mansour
Eddahbi on Ave. de France.
Le Sepharade, on 31 Lottisse-
ment Hassania, is conveniently
located only about 200 metres
from the Beth El Synagogue. The
50 Jewish families who live in this
exotic city will now have a first
class observant eaterie with a 120-
seat capacity.
Only a brave and confident
man would give up a thriving im-
port/export business and turn his
palatial residence into a kosher
restaurant.

A somewhat shy man, married
and the father of an active 2-year-
old boy, David Barchichat had
studied at the Yeshiva in Mar-
seilles, France. But Marseilles has
a way of excluding you if you're
not a native son, so it was time to
"come home."
The 30-something Barchichat
decided that he would pursue his
"dream." Even now, only weeks
from the opening, the chairs and
tables hadn't yet been placed but
the menu and the kitchen and
staff are very much in order. Mr.
Barchichat has also found a great
chef. And as we drink mint tea
and nibble on small, delicious pas-
tries made by the pastry chef, he
is excited about the many possi-
bilities.
Besides the locals, tourists are
always looking for kosher Moroc-
can food. Even an official from the
Moroccan Tourist Bureau con-
cedes that a good restaurant serv-
