This is quite a nice place with a nice aura and a very special vibe.

I guess I couldn't give more than three stars because of the following:

A wonderful insight into the Jewish community. It showcases some fine artifacts, clothes, photos and rituals performed by this community. On display is also the lifestyle and the religious aspects like the prayer rooms and their beliefs. And most importantly, there are some very good manuscripts in the Hebrew language. The Museum is slightly off the city center but worth a visit. Entrance fee is MAD50.00 and you could easily spend 1hr here. However, on exiting, be prepared to be greeted by the Janitor lady asking to your face for some "sadaqa" aka "donation" and you are obliged...
