Moroccan Jewry has a long tradition, harking back to the area's
earliest settlements and possessing deep connections and
associations with the historic peoples of the region. In Jews and
Muslims of Morocco historians, anthropologists, musicologists,
Rabbinic scholars, Arabists, and linguists examine the complex and
hybrid history of intercultural exchange between Moroccan Jewry and
the Arab and Berber cultures through analyses of the Jews' use of
Morocco's multiple languages and dialects, characteristic poetry,
and musical works as well as their shared magical rites and popular
texts and proverbs. The essays in this collection span political
and social interactions throughout history, cultural commonalities,
traditions, and halakhic developments. Acknowledging that Jewish
life in Morocco has dwindled and continues to exist primarily in
the memories of Moroccan Jewish diaspora communities, the volume
concludes with personal memories an analysis of a visual memoir,
and a photo essay of the vanished world of Jewish life in Morocco.
