Rosh Hashancah in Algiers Is Saddest in Many Centuries Algiers (JTA) — The saddest Rosh Hashanah in many centuries was observed hero by the decimated Jewish community, shrunk to no more tli:m 4,000 of a total of about 50,000 who had flourished in this capital. The Days of Awe here sire, indeed, days of unprecedented sorrow and travail. Of the 12 synagogues previously holding regular services litre, only two arc functioning now. Of the more than 30 rabbis who were here prior to the vast cxndus of Algerian Jewry, only f o u r remain. Of the 19 members of (he old C'onsislorie Israelite, only four are still lien1. These include Henri G o z I a n, uho retains his post as municipal veterinarian for the city of Algiers, and G e o r g e s Montti, who owns a grocery store in an area inhabited by Moslems. Rabbi Gilbert Seror, one of the four spiritual leaders still here, showed the community's helplessness as he presided over the Rosh Hashanah services. He tried to preach what he called "encouragement and hope" — but his e f f o r t s were halfhearted. Separated from their * kin, so many of whom hsul departed, the Jews here are also scpar a t e d internally, each small, local group hi this large city having only one common contact — the relief office of the American Jewish Joint Distri-
billion Committee, which is functioning actively.. Many of the Jews here live on $12 in cash which they get monthly, and on food packages labeled "donated by the p e o p l e of the United Slates of America." The once-active Jewish organizations and institutions, cultural, religious or charitable, are d o r m a n t or nonexistent. Leaders of the community said that, after Yom Kippur, they plan on taking a census of the Jews still remaining here and in the rest of the country. On the basis of this count, they hope to develop some sort of program of relief, re'if_''ous revival and cultural rebirth.

Immigration Expert By ETHEL L. LEVEY Do you recall a nonsensical phrase that Red Button? used when he was Television Comedian of the year? He would hop on one foot, lay his finger alongside his nose, wrinkle his forehead and say "Stra-aange things are happening." I begin to think he must have been one of the minor prophets, for any Jew watching television, listening to radio, attending theater road s h o w s , or reading books these days may repeat in sheer amazement, "Stra-aange 'things are happening." I'm not talking about orbiting space, gefilte fish in jars, or girls being called to the Torah. All these •are very nice indeed. I'm in favor of progress and I suppose ^ou could call the sudden interest in Jews by the lively arts a form of progress. 50 Years of Indoctrination Fifty years of indoctrination have left me "techy," so that

when 1 hear Jews casually proclaiming their Jewishness on radio and TV over national networks, I have the feeling that somebody is listening. It's even stranger to find characters in Broadway plays who are not only Jews, but delightfully good Jews, or nt the very least, sympathetic foils on whom climax and denouement depend. As to the new books, it will be a foggy day in Ft. Lauderdale when I find one without a Jew, usually a very mixed up Jew, somewhere in the plot. Even in Russia, that land of the necessarily shah-shah Jew, a Russian poet mourns the dead Jews of the Ukraine and is not only allowed to live, but is sent abroad to lecture and recite his poems. The "strange thing" that has happened in the world of entertainment and among the literati ir, the astonishing discovery that Jews are for real. We have apparently arrived in the American culture. Conditioned as I am to the inevitable slight, I find myself cautiously circling the periphery of this delightful situation. I can't help it; I'm just not used to being accepted on my own merit. Part of Modern Recipe You see, I can remember a time when a novel was written without one Jewish character. Not today. In the new literature, the Jew is added as part of the nioden recipe for a nest seller. In television, our local university presents Jewish professors and instructors, among others, in teaching programs. Jews perform in westerns and easterns, low comedy and high tragedy. We have singers and dancer/;, magicians and Bess Myerson. What's more, these
Jewish entertainers don't even bother to change their names. Herman is getting to be as familiar as Billy the Kid. Children in the third grade can spell Paddy Chayefsky quicker than they can say Donald Duck. Leonard Bernstein stays Leonard Bernstein, Joe Menkiewicz feels secure and Judy H o l i d a y announces in an interview over 120 radio stations that her name is a literal translation from the Hebrew. Perry Como's Kol Nldre In the early days, television and radio, too, would produce a program lightly geared to Jewish audience:; once or twice a year. An effort would be made to correlate Hanukah to that other holiday. Around the time of the High Holidays, P e r r y Como would don a skull cap and sing Kol Nidre, with a Mogen Doved, strategically placed in the background, to make everything kosher, flashing on and off like an advertisement for beer. .Some Jews were delighted with this display of the deep significance of our festivals. Phones would ring, and friends would call, "Hurry up, he is singing Kol Nidre"—or, turn your set on, they're playing 'our' song," which could turn out to be Tzena, Tzcna, or By Mir Bi.-.t Du Shein.
