DARKÉ ABOTENOU: LAWS AND CUSTOMS OF THE JEWS OF MOROCCO

A book encompassing the customs of daily life based on the topics of Shulhan ‘Arukh’s Orach Chayim, i.e., Tallit, Tefillin, Shabbat, Holidays, Berakhot, etc.

Jews have had a presence in Morocco since the time of the First Temple in Jerusalem more than 2,500 years ago. With a culture so ancient and so steeped in Torah, it is no wonder that Moroccan Jewry has so many traditions and customs. With the first generation in more than 2,500 years born outside of Morocco seeking out its roots, we recognized that Moroccan Judaism is undergoing a renaissance. The thirst for knowledge of the precious customs, piety, and day-to-day actions of our forefathers has never been greater. This book covers topics pertaining to the calendrical cycle, as outlined in Shulchan Arukh’s Orach Chayim. For anyone serious about understanding and preserving the rich legacy of Moroccan Jewry, Darké Abotenou is an absolute necessity - in the home, school, synagogue, bet midrash, and library.
