RABAT - Suzanne Harroch speaks and sings in Judeo-Moroccan, a language of a once-thriving Jewish community that numbered about 300,000 - one of the largest in the Muslim world.
“I identify myself as Moroccan first, then Jewish,” the mother of three said in her house in Rabat ahead of Pope Francis’ visit, which Jews have welcomed as an opportunity to highlight a status they say is unique in the Muslim world. Unlike many Moroccan Jews, who left for Israel, Europe and America in the past six decades because of grinding poverty and political uncertainty, Harroch and her husband decided to stay.
The Moroccan Jewish community dates back to Roman times and for centuries Jews served the royal court as ambassadors, diplomats, ministers and advisors.
