  • 5/5 Rich N. 8 months ago on Google • 135 reviews
    Gorgeous synagogue. Probably the most stunning one I have ever been to (which is a lot considering I’m a Jew that studies Middle eastern Judaism). The one thing is that you must “prove to be Jewish” which unfortunately in a colonized/imperialized country like Morocco (even after 1400 years of Moroccan Arab Judaism) means that you are Ashkenazi (European Jewish and American.) when the head guide say my passport I was allowed in but the grounds manager who is probably illiterate anyway gave me hard time considering he didn’t know my last name is Jewish and by virtue of being brown, suspect. Anyway major Casablanca and Morocco highlight!

    Well kept and protected (security outside) Synagogue originally built in 1949. You have to be Jewish to enter though.

    (Translated by Google) The lack of respect is that I survive a place very far away, and the guard says, "No entry, except if you are Jewish. No Moroccan entry and the door closes in my face !!!!!!!!!! A very beautiful, distinguished temple, but the door guard must be changed with a respectable and conscious person and we will return once again and wish I could replace it !!!!!!! (Original) قلة الاحترام انني نجي من مكان بعيييد لتما و يقولي الحارس لا ممنوع دخول الا اذا كنتي يهودية ممنوع دخول المغاربة و يغلق الباب في وجهي!!!!!!!!!! معبد جميل جدا متميز و لكن حارس الباب يجب تغييره بانسان واعي محترم و غنرجع مرة اخرى و كنتمنى يستبدلوه!!!!!!!

    If you are not Jewish, don't even bother, you're not welcome nor getting in. This should be very clearly stated in any description or review. BTW if you closely check all the 5* and 1* reviews, it's clear from the names who gave what...

    It is not possible to visit the sinagogue if you are not a Jewish person. This is what the person at the gate told me although he didn't explain the reason.

    Absolutely beautiful synagogue, renovated in 1996 but built in 1949. The attention to detail and the stained glass representing the 12 tribes of Israel, are stunning. We celebrated Purim here, and the voices of centuries past echoed from the reading of Megillat Esther!

  • 5/5 Asaf R. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very beautiful and has a very nice view from the inside. Everything is well decorated and admirable. We didn't visit during visiting hours but rather praying time, so we joined the prayer (note that only Jews are allowed inside while praying time, so if you aren't, come during visiting hours).

  • 1/5 Josh G. 1 year ago on Google
    We first went on sabbath and got turned away cause of it - fair. Then we came back on Monday and didn’t get let cause we’re not Jewish. What’s the point of having opening times and why not just tell us earlier. Never been synagogue that refused entry before 🤷‍♂️
