Morocan Jewish Diaspora

Exhibition of the Rabbis of Morocco

Exhibition of the Rabbis of Morocco

An itinerary display has been planned by Mimouna Association and the Casablanca Museum of Moroccan Judaism. The project was created by the exhibition's designer, Dr. Zhor Rehihil, and aims at highlighting the life of some prominent Jewish Moroccan Rabbis to safeguard their memory. The exhibition’s objective is to expose Morocco’s rich history of Jewish culture and scholarship to the youth and introduce them to the cultural side of the many notable Jewish Moroccan rabbis who once influenced worldwide Judaism such as Rabbi Yitzhak Alfasi ("Rif"), a leading rabbi in the 11th century who wrote a comprehensive commentary on the Talmud, Rabbi Shlomo Ibn Danan, who served as the chief rabbi of Morocco in the 16th century and was a prolific author and scholar and Rabbi Raphael Berdugo, a 19th-century rabbi who was known for his charitable work and advocacy for the Jewish community.
