One of 3 synagogues that survived from old times of Jewish present in city of Essaouira. House of synagogue (upper floor) was also a home of famous Rabbi Chaim Pinto - lower floors, his office. Synagogue is fully renovated, including wooden beam roof,painted blue. We got some explanation about the place and Jewish life, guard knows even a bit Hebrew, and when we finished our visit he offered us to open for us the old Jewish cemetery, which is not always open, so it was very convenient to see both main places of Jewish history...

Une grande déception malgré un lieu chargé d’histoire

Je souhaite exprimer ma profonde déception suite à la visite de cette synagogue. L’édifice est magnifique, un véritable témoin du patrimoine marocain, profondément enraciné dans notre histoire commune.

Mais ce qui m’a peiné, c’est l’accueil glacial réservé aux visiteurs marocains et musulmans. Une distance marquée, presque dérangeante… d’autant plus surprenante qu’elle venait d’une personne marocaine, elle-même musulmane.

Une différence de traitement était palpable: accueil chaleureux et complice pour les visiteurs de confession juive ou occidentale (la question de la religion a d’ailleurs été posée à certains)… mais froideur dès qu’il s’agissait de simples Marocains ou musulmans curieux de découvrir.

Et pourtant, cette synagogue fait pleinement partie de notre héritage collectif. S’y intéresser, ce n’est pas déranger, c’est honorer notre mémoire plurielle. Le Maroc, dans toute sa richesse, est un tissage de cultures et de croyances. Chaque citoyen a le droit et même le devoir de découvrir l’ensemble de son patrimoine.

L’accueil de ces lieux devrait refléter cette ouverture. Car une mémoire qui exclut finit par s’éteindre. Une mémoire partagée, elle,...

Last building followed by a huge demolition and recostruction site that is supposed to become the restored or rather newly built jewish quarter mellah. Informative caretaker who will show and explain everything to you. Other than the neighboring former „public“ synagoge this used to be a private synagogue mainly for the use of the family. Quiet and...

Beautiful and tiny. The downstairs is where the rabbi lived. The upstairs was the synagogue. They still use the temple if someone requests and they will get a minyan if needed. The lady who is there was great and super nice. If you come to Essaouria it’s a must see, but it’s a quick in and out type of place - 10 min.
