Seha, the traditional wise man-fool in Jewish Morocco is a popular
fictional hero in simple yet rich tales, playful yet witty enough
to provide life lessons with commitment to social fairness and
mutual respect. In this collection of tales, the authors introduce
readers to their grandparents and the teaching they imparted.
Through humorous Seha tales, the authors transmit deeply engrained
Jewish values, accentuated in accompanying socio-historical
commentaries which shed light on the evolution of Seha as a popular
fictional hero as well as on processes of social change and
modernization experienced by Moroccan Jews, who were influenced by
movements in three nations that impact their identity, namely
Israel, France, and Morocco.
