Description

This letter sent to Jacob Chekroun, Chief Rabbi of Médéa, Honorary President of the Consistory Commission is accompanied by documents from the Algiers Cult about the activity of the Consistorial Commission. The author of the letter asks the chief rabbi Jacob Chekroun for help in bringing back to Medea his cousin Abraham Ayache and his wife, who are currently in Marseille and who are subjected to “racist malice”. Several paragraphs give several information on various subjects, in particular through Takana or Takana (List of procedures required in an organization or a particular action):

– “Bikor Holim” is a charity and assistance to the sick at home and hospitalized. Community leaders want to help those who suffered and who still suffer as a result of the war. We ask to come to the aid of the communities of France and Tunisia (“which knew the Nazi occupation”) by allowing social and cultural works to resume their functioning. Subscriptions have been opened in all communities in Algeria.

– The Algerian Zionist Union, the Conference Society and the Tel Aviv club have just opened a library of Jewish study and documentation

– The abolition of racial laws by the ordinance of March 14, 1943 allowed children to return to public educational establishments. “The private Jewish primary schools have therefore ceased to exist.” However, the secondary school in rue Emile Maupas was transformed into a denominational school and became the Maimonide school.
