Casablanca - Museum of Moroccan Judaism

Museum of Moroccan Judaism & Synagogue

The Museum is the only Jewish museum in the Arabic speaking world, and its former site was a Jewish orphanage. It traces the history of Moroccan Jews for 2000 years, and although the museum is not large, it showcases the rich Jewish culture and the contribution of this nation to the country's development. The exhibits include clothing, jewelry, religious items, iconic architectural models, photographs, and ancient books. The museum is divided into themed halls and main halls. Permanent exhibitions and temporary exhibitions complement each other.

The Museum is surrounded by the famous Jewish community of Casablanca, adjacent to a 1930s rebuilt synagogue that is considered the oldest synagogue in the country and an important religious and cultural center. Its design is exquisite and luxurious: carved rosettes, plaster, handmade furniture, stained glass windows, and large silver candlesticks all make people feel exquisite.
