Jewish Life in Morocco: An Intimate Introduction with Prof. Roy Mittelman
There has been a vibrant Jewish presence in Morocco for at least two millennia. Just ten years ago the Moroccan government updated its constitution to proclaim that Jewish tradition is a core element in its national heritage. And just a few weeks ago the Moroccan government went further, announcing that it was adding Jewish history and culture to the school curriculum. For us looking from the outside, we see a profoundly beautiful way of being Jewish, in many ways unique to that country. Learn about the past, present and future of the Jewish community of Morocco based on Dr. Roy Mittelman’s 40 years of traveling to, studying and teaching about the community. Roy Mittelman is the director of the Jewish Studies Program at the City College of New York. He earned his PhD in Religion from Temple University, and his research focuses on Muslim-Jewish relations in Morocco.
