Skoura, an oasis in the Dadès valley at the foot of the High Atlas (Ouarzazate province), had a small Berber-speaking Jewish community practicing crafts and local trade. Like most rural Jewish communities in southern Morocco, it disappeared in the mid-20th century through emigration to Israel and Moroccan urban centers.

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Skoura give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
