The spiritual capital of Moroccan Judaism, Fez established the kingdom's first mellah, the official Jewish quarter, in 1438. A major centre of study where Maimonides once lived, it produced the Taqqanot of the Spanish exiles (megorashim). Its rabbinic dynasties (Serero, Ibn Danan) radiated halakhic authority across the Maghreb.
