Les Juifs de Settat

Settat, in the Chaouia region of Morocco, was home to a small Jewish community composed mainly of merchants and peddlers serving the agricultural hinterland. Organized around their synagogue and institutions, its members maintained ties with the larger neighboring communities. During the twentieth century, the community gradually emptied toward Casablanca, France, and Israel.
