A Bit of History
For the past 2000 years, Jews have played an integral part in Moroccan history. They lived in areas known as mellahs, usually located near the King’s Palaces and have held many held important positions in government and in commerce.
Before the founding of Israel in 1948, the population of Moroccan Jews was around 250,000—the highest population of Jews of any Arab country. Today, the total population is around 2500, mostly residing in Casablanca.
