Journey to Morocco
April 28, 2025 - May 7, 2025
Jews have been settled in Morocco for more than 2000 years. Prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, Morocco had a thriving Jewish community of ~ 275,000 Jews. Even though Morocco is now home to only ~2000 Jews, it remains the largest Jewish community in the Muslim world. Join us as we explore Morocco’s rich Jewish history and immerse ourselves in Moroccan culture. We’ll see spectacular sights and get to know the local people. There’s truly nothing like traveling with community. We hope you’ll be a part of creating friendships and unforgettable memories together.
