Antique freemasonry Jewish door
Freemasonry was introduced to Morocco during the colonial era, with the first lodge, La Réunion Française, established in Tangier in 1883. It later developed and, despite challenges under colonial rule and declining activity after independence, a mainstream Grand Lodge of the Kingdom of Morocco was chartered in 2000.
A fascinating aspect of Morocco’s history is where Berber and Jewish history and culture intertwine. Transliteration of Berber language is a recent innovation and so Berber history was seldom recorded. In fact, it is often due to enthusiastic members of the Moroccan Jewish diaspora and other chroniclers of Jewish history that we can gain an insight into the peaceful and fruitful coexistence between Berbers of Jewish and Muslim faith.
There have been Jewish people in Morocco for over 3,000 years, longer than there have been Arabs in the area. Even in the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, there are traces of a synagogue. Today, however, most of the synagogues are as deserted as the remains of this ancient civilization
