Oran reflected Spanish, Ottoman, and French waves. Spanish-speaking Megorashim and Musta'ribi Jews shared the same Masoretic Torah standards.

Alliance institutions taught biblical literacy; rabbis cited the Talmud and Hebrew Bible in responsa.
III. Exodus to France and Israel
Like the rest of Algerian Jewry, Oran's Jews departed en masse after 1962 — overwhelmingly for France.
