Museum focused on Jewish Moroccan heritage opens in Fez

A museum dedicated to Moroccan Jewish culture now stands in the heart of Fes, offering visitors an insight into the history, traditions and heritage of a community that's been part of Morocco for centuries. We received our heritage from our histories and we shared them together, for example the arrival of Sephardic Jews after the Reconquista of Spain and also the fact that Judaism was present in the Berber world well before the Georgian era. All this led to something specific happening in Morocco between the Amazigh, Arabs, Judaism and Islam that shaped this Moroccan identity. Located in the city's ancient Jewish quarter, the museum highlights the shared history of Jewish, Arab, Amazigh, Spanish and French cultures that have helped shape Fes Des manuscrits. We have pictures, tombstones, writings and manuscripts that were written in Morocco. Ricky, is it? This shows that Jews really existed here in this country and that they had good relationships with their Muslim neighbours. The Moroccans of the Muslim Commission. They lived in peace and tranquility and the museum is a lesson for the young people. And the museum is a lesson for youth. The exhibition features a wide range of objects, including traditional clothing, artworks, archives and historical manuscripts written in Hebrew. We may be 3,000, but we represent... Maybe we're only 3,000, but we represent one million Moroccan Jews in the world who are deeply attached to their Moroccan identity. Thank you. Don't believe that the Jewish community could be reduced to those who live here. To those who are here, living in Morocco. Today, what we are talking about is the phenomenon of belonging to a nation. Although the Jewish community in Morocco is now small, its heritage continues to resonate far beyond the country's borders.
