Museum of Moroccan Judaism

Established in 1997, it is the only museum devoted to Judaism in the Arab world. The museum, whose building originated in 1948 as a Jewish orphanage that housed up to 160 Jewish youth, was opened by King Mohammed VI on 20 December 2016.

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 50DH (but the lady may shut down the entrance at 4pm)

Great wee museum, in a very pleasant area of Casablanca. I'm not Jewish, in fact I have no faith, but am interested in different beliefs and cultures. The more l learn about the different ways of worship gives me an insight to how they work.

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.

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.

I personally learned new things about Judaism and my Sefardí roots since I came from València
