THE LAWS OF HIS PEOPLE are studied daily by this dignified rabbi of Tunis, where, as
in many other towns of North Africa, there is a large Jewish colony. The Mohammedans,
though forcing them to live in separate quarters, have always been more kindly disposed
toward the Jews than have other Gentiles. In the French protectorate of Tunisia there are over
59,000 Jews, of whom about 27,000 live in the city of Tunis. The French have provided
schools of a special kind for the Jewish children.
