Museum of Moroccan Judaism

A wonderful insight into the Jewish community. It showcases some fine artifacts, clothes, photos and rituals performed by this community. On display is also the lifestyle and the religious aspects like the prayer rooms and their beliefs. And most importantly, there are some very good manuscripts in the Hebrew language. The Museum is slightly off the city center but worth a visit. Entrance fee is MAD50.00 and you could easily spend 1hr here. However, on exiting, be prepared to be greeted by the Janitor lady asking to your face for some "sadaqa" aka "donation" and you are obliged to give some!

Entry was 50 Dirhams Interesting but Small, i was done in 30 minutes No AC so it is hot

It was a lovely visit, me and my Moroccan friend visited if together on a very hot busy day. So it was nice to wind down and sit in their prayer area, for a few moments to ponder on life and thank God for everything. It was very cool inside, even on a hot day, which made the visit more enjoyable. The museum It has a lot of information on the history and culture of Jews in Morocco. God bless the lady who cares for the museum. She was very kind to us. 🙏

The Jewish Museum of Morocco is a historical window into the life of the Jewish community, which was an integral part of the Moroccan social and cultural fabric. Among the treasures on display in the museum is a rich collection of photographs documenting the daily life of Moroccan Jewish communities in various cities and villages. These photographs show minute details of Jewish life in Morocco, such as popular markets, religious rituals, weddings, and even simple family moments. The photographs reflect the traditions and customs that were practiced on a daily basis, showing the diversity of economic and social activities in which Jews participated alongside the rest of the Moroccan population. The photographs are noted for their interest in documenting cultural aspects such as traditional clothing, ornate costumes, and distinctive jewelry that reflects artistic richness. In addition, the photographs highlight the close relationship between Jews and their Muslim neighbors, demonstrating the spirit of coexistence and tolerance that has always characterized Moroccan society

I loved this museum, it’s not very famous in Casablanca but should be. The historical artifacts are super interesting, definitely worth checking out. The entrance fee is 50dhs which is fine, Wednesday are free for students. I heavily recommend this museum for any history fans.

Worth a visit. Said to be the only Jewish museum in Africa. Small, mainly artefacts and photos. It’d be a great bonus to see history telling, such as how Jews came to the land and how they lived with Muslims. There’s a lovely garden. Ticket 50. Winter closes at 5pm (but the lady may shut down the entrance at 4pm)

This is quite a nice place with a nice aura and a very special vibe. I guess I couldn't give more than three stars because of the following: ● There was no guide to give further explanation. We would have welcomed a little more information. We had a lot of questions and we got out with no answers. ● For what we saw, the price is quite unfair for locals. 50Dh/person. I think It would be better I guess if there's a cheap fee for locals and a higher fee for foreigners (like most countries do). It would encourage people to come more often, and even come again to take guests. ● Maybe, the lighting should be revisited because there are some items that are hard to see due to the reflections of different bulmb lights on the windows. Apart from the two above mentioned minor false notes, everything was great. The way the space is arranged and the rooms are organized + the pictures in the corridor showing how it was and who was there and how they lived and taught back then. I loved it. The clothes, the tools, the chandeliers, the jewelry and the lecterns are all very well presented with reference numbers that are quite clear. The study room and the Torah reading space project a true spiritual vibe. And the surrounding garden is just awsome. The way it's arranged and shaped is very cozy. It should be highlighted.

Experience could have been better if there was a guided tour of the Museum but it has historical photos and items that illustrate the culture of the Moroccan Jewish communities who have lived in Morocco for a long time.
