The Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca: 2500 years of history in one tour

The only Jewish museum in the Arab world, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism was founded in 1997 by the late Simon Lévy, a renowned Moroccan intellectual and researcher. The building that houses it is the former Murdock Bengio Children's Home, an orphanage built in 1948 by Célia Bengio in memory of her husband and dedicated to protecting disadvantaged Jewish children.
