Moroccan Jewry has a rich and long history in the country.
According to estimates, the Jews arrived in Morocco following the Arab conquest, and over time established a prosperous community that played a vital role in the country's culture and commerce.
Despite facing periods of persecution and discrimination, the Jewish community in Morocco continued to flourish, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when Jewish merchants and artisans played a significant role in the Moroccan economy.
However, with the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent Arab-Israeli conflict, many Jews left Morocco, and today only a small number of Jews remain in the country.
Nevertheless, Jewish heritage and culture continue to be an integral part of Morocco's identity, and the country is home to a number of synagogues, Jewish cemeteries and other sites of historical and cultural significance.
