Abstract
Religious leaders of Moroccan Jewish communities in the Atlas Mountains, stemming from generations of certain notable families, commanded personal authority. To the more illustrious were attributed charismatic traits. After moving to Israel, these rabbis and their flocks confronted a bureaucratic organization of religious services in which rabbis were appointed according to universal criteria and received a regular wage. A follow-up study of a transplanted Atlas Mountain community traces the decline of traditional religious leadership and the process of community accommodation to a bureaucratically appointed rabbi.
