Our mission

Archives of AJM Articles

The AJM is committed to preserving the rich heritage of Morocco’s Jewish community through a variety of cultural, educational and heritage preservation activities. Our mission goes beyond historical preservation to encourage intercultural dialogue, provide educational resources, and celebrate Morocco’s cultural diversity.
The association regularly organizes study trips for around twenty young Jews of Moroccan origin living abroad and keen to learn about the country of their ancestors in all its political, economic, social, cultural and religious aspects.
The association regularly organizes information meetings for Moroccans around the world and citizens of host countries about today’s Morocco,
with its realities and challenges.
Every year, the Association organizes “Jewish Days” in various towns across the Kingdom, a series of cultural activities (conferences, visits to places of worship, film screenings, concerts, shows, exhibitions, etc.) to promote Jewish- Moroccan culture.
The association maintains close relations throughout the world with its own members and with other associations, libraries, museums and philanthropic organizations with a similar inte- rest in Moroccan Judaism.
The association works with the Moroccan Ministry of Education to introduce elements of Moroccan-Jewish culture into the Ministry’s official curricula. The association organizes training seminars on Jewish-Moroccan culture,
as well as school visits to places where Jews are present (synagogues, community centers, cemeteries, etc.).
The association is involved in publishing books
and visual and audiovisual media.
The association promotes and leads numerous projects
to restore places of Jewish presence in Morocco.
The Association produces shows for the general public
(plays, musicals, concerts) and confe- rences in line with its aims.
The association organizes interactive online Hebrew courses,
in partnership with the University of Haifa’s School of Tourism.
