Under the Crescent Moon: Three Synagogues and Jewish Life of Morocco

Across Morocco’s historic cities, three synagogues trace a story carried on shifting currents—moments when Jewish life swelled with creative possibility and moments when it retreated behind quiet walls. From the hidden doorway of Ibn Danan to the open‑sky courtyard of Slat al‑Azama to the luminous modern hall of Beth‑El, each synagogue marks a different turn of the tide. Join us at J2 adventures ‘Wandering Jews’ as these sacred spaces reveal how Jewish life in Morocco moves in continual ebb and flow, leaving behind beauty, memory, and a rhythm all its own. Links for Additional Reading The Ibn Danan Synagogue, Fez, MoroccoANU, The Museum of the Jewish Peoplehttps://dbs.anumuseum.org.il/skn/en/c6/e23554768/%D7%90%D7%95%D7%93%D7%95%D7%AA/The_Ibn_Danan_Synagogue_Fez_Morocco Israeli, Moroccan Researchers Excavate Synagogue In Atlas MountainsI24News, 24 December 2021https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/archeology/1640350989-israeli-moroccan-researchers-excavate-synagogue-in-sahara Moroccan Jewry at the National Library of Israelhttps://www.nli.org.il/en/discover/judaism/jewish-communities/jews-in-islamic-countries/moroccan-jewsFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn!Find more at j2adventures.com Hosted on Acast.
