8 Days Kosher Tours To Morocco

This 8 days Kosher jewish tours to Morocco is organized by Marrakech Art Tours for tourists who want to learn about the rich history and distinctive culture of Morocco’s Jewish population. There are Jewish Mellahs, historic cemeteries, and gorgeous synagogues in each of Morocco’s major cities.The Beth-El, Temple Em Habanim, and Temple Neve Shalom synagogues in Casablanca rank among the most significant sites to see. The only museum dedicated to Moroccan Judaism in the Arab world, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism provides insight into the city’s Moroccan Jewish legacy.
You can go see the tomb of Meknes’s patron, Rabbi David ben Imdan, while you’re in the city. There are up to eleven synagogues in the new Mellah, eight of which are still in operation. Fes is regarded as a superb illustration of Moroccan Jews’ medieval past. Rabbi Isaac Elfasi, one of the most prominent Talmud scholars, lived in Fes.

Approximately 5,000 Jews resided in the tiny Mellah in Sefrou, making up a third of the town’s population at the time of Moroccan independence in 1956. Given that it comprises about 50% of the current city, Jewish ancestry is still very evident. Take a Kosher Jewish Heritage tour of Marrakech to see the Lazama Synagogue and discover the Jewish Mellah.

The vibrant Jewish community of Essaouira played a significant role in Moroccan society, particularly in the growth of the city’s economy. Explore the freshly opened Simon Attias Synagogue, take a tour of its museum, and pay a visit to the Jewish cemeteries in Bet Ha-Knesset. The village is becoming a more popular destination for pilgrims, and as a representation of goodwill across cultures, the dilapidated Jewish buildings are gradually being renovated.
