Preservation and promotion
of the Judeo-Moroccan heritage

Discover AJM, a Moroccan non-profit association dedicated to preserving Jewish heritage and promoting inter-cultural dialogue through cultural events, educational projects and national and international collaboration.

About us

Who are we?

The non-profit association ‘Les Amis du Judaïsme Marocain A.J.M.’ was founded in 2016 by a group of Moroccan Jews and Muslims motivated by a duty of remembrance towards a Moroccan Jewish community that dates back two thousand years and has now virtually disappeared from the national territory. The association works to preserve the tangible and intangible Jewish heritage of Morocco. It strives to raise awareness among Moroccans today, both in Morocco and abroad, of Moroccan-Jewish culture and its place in national history. Promoting the image of a modern, multicultural and tolerant Morocco is also one of its objectives.
