Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca, Morocco - Museum

Casablanca

Museum of Moroccan Judaism

Twenty-two Arab countries, 400 million people. One Jewish museum. This one.

The only Jewish museum in the Arab world. Built in 1997 by the Casablanca Jewish community — not by the government, not by a foreign foundation.

Torah scrolls from synagogues that no longer hold services. Wedding dresses worn by women whose grandchildren live in Tel Aviv. Hanukkah menorahs, oil lamps, Moroccan caftans embroidered with gold thread. The objects of daily Jewish life in Morocco. The museum preserves what departure took away.

Renovated after 2011. Small but irreplaceable. Open six days a week.
