Abstract
Jews existed in Morocco before Islam, and even before Christianity, which gave way to it. The long cohabitation between Jews and Muslims gave rise to cultural practices that often had nothing specifically Jewish or Muslim; they therefore constituted a privileged meeting place between the two populations. Although the said Jewishness is nowadays very much reduced to the point of being doomed to disappear, two millennia of history still remain a memory; its echo still resounds in the uprooted souls of emigrants. It resounds in their music and song, in their folklore and rituals, in their celebration of the privileged moments of their existence, and so on. Aware of the importance that the dissemination of information is reviving in the preservation of Judeo-Moroccan culture. Members of the diaspora have been working to find new ways of transmitting their cultural heritage. This work aims to highlight the importance of diaspora sites as a new kind of media in the dissemination and preservation of Judeo-Moroccan culture
