Memory register · custodian, not owner
Khénifra, in the heart of the Moroccan Middle Atlas, sheltered a Jewish community whose members, often Berber-speaking, were craftsmen — notably goldsmiths — and merchants in close contact with the Berber populations of the region. Organized around its synagogues, the community preserved traditions specific to the Judaism of the mountain regions. In the mid-twentieth century, its members emigrated to Casablanca and then to Israel.
