To conform with a new legal ruling by the Government affecting private schools, a Moroccan Association of Alliance Israelite was established here today to operate the Jewish schools previously conducted in this country by Alliance Israelite Universelle of Paris.
Six leaders of the Moroccan Jewish community, headed by Raphael Ben-Arrosch, directstor of OSE here, compose the membership of the new association. Since the new ruling went into effect, depriving of legal status the schools maintained by the Alliance Israelite Universelle, the necessity has arisen for formation of a legal body consisting entirely of Moroccan Jews to take responsibility for the Jewish schools originally established by the Paris body.
