September 2023:
The Moroccan Foundation of the Jewish Cultural Heritage, in collaboration with the Mimouna Association undertook a remarkable endeavor to restore the “Leshem Yikhoud” synagogue in Errachidia, the last standing synagogue in the capital of the Tafilalet region. These major synagogue restoration operations were launched for the first time in Morocco in 1995 by the Moroccan Jewish Heritage Foundation. This particular restoration project was made possible by the dedicated efforts of Raphael El Maleh, who was the reason behind the restoration of many Jewish sites in South Morocco throughout the years.
