Memory register · custodian, not owner

Salé, an Atlantic port neighboring Rabat on the other bank of the Bou Regreg, was home to an ancient Jewish community composed of artisans, merchants and commercial intermediaries. Renowned for its corsair history in the early modern period, the city offered Jews a role as agents in trade and the ransoming of captives. The community lived according to the Moroccan rite and maintained close ties with neighboring rabbinical centers. In the twentieth century, like Moroccan Judaism as a whole, it gradually emptied through emigration to Casablanca, France and Israel, especially after independence in 1956.
