MOROCCO'S JEWISH PATRON AND SCHOLARS

Morocco has become a destination to many emigrants Jews return each year to celebrate the memory of their patron saints, or organise religious ceremonies, such as the one a Azjen, a village not far from the town of Ouazzane in northern Morocco, or in the region of Chaouia, and particularly the area of Ben Ahmed, which forms part of the province of Settat, or in Fez, or in Essaouira. These are four examples in fact only a tiny part of a much bigger picture, because Morocco abounds in sites and symbols of the Jewish faith, holy and consecrated places fo Moroccan Jews.
