MAC (Washington, DC, May 15, 2013) — During Jewish-American Heritage month, Morocco on the Move is remembering Morocco’s long Jewish heritage and history, which dates back more than 3,000 years.
This infographic highlights five of the many monuments to Morocco’s Jewish cultural past and present, which have contributed so much to what King Mohammed VI described earlier this year as the “spiritual wealth and diversity of the Kingdom of Morocco and its heritage.”
The infographic below includes descriptions, photos, and locations for:
-
The Museum of Moroccan Judaism, in Casablanca;
-
The Rabbi Abraham ben Zmirro’s Shrine, in Safi;
-
The Miara Jewish Cemetery, in Marrakech;
-
The Maimonides House, in Fes (Fez); and
-
The Al Fassiyne Synagogue, also in Fes (Fez).
