The Heritage of Moroccan Jews

After the screening of both informative documentaries: "Moroccan Judaism: A Culture in Danger" (2011) and "My Neighbor...the Jew" (2012) by Yona Abeddour, the distinguished historian Prof. Noam Stillman provides a historical context and opens the floor for a stimulating discussion. Moroccan Judaism: A Culture in Danger (2011): This film seeks to educate people about the history of a culture which cannot be separated from Moroccan culture as a whole. My Neighbor ... The Jew (2012) highlights Muslim-Jewish relations in Morocco. The title accentuates the concept of ‘neighbor’, a concept highly valued in both Islam and Judaism as well as in the Moroccan culture.
