Jews in Morocco

THE VIEW FROM FEZ: The Jews of Morocco - a lesson in coexistence.

Legend has it that Moroccan Jews have been here since the days of King David. In the south of Morocco, three days journey from Sousse - there is a boulder on which is engraved -“Joab, son of Zeriah, drove the Philistines to this point.” Joab ben Zeriah was one of King David’s captains. And so it has been concluded that Moroccan Jews have been in this North African country since the day of King David.

The View from Fez discusses the troubled history of Jews in Morocco and latter day efforts to protect a much diminished community.
