Marrakech and Jerusalem Share Heritage
A copper mezuzah from Marrakech dating back to 1805 has been discovered in the Old City. It is engraved with Hebrew inscriptions indicating that it was a gift to Rabbi Hizkiyahu Yusef Kovo from Jerusalem. Research shows that the mezuzah was used in the preparation of herbs and perfumes and carries symbolism related to blessing and protection. It reflects the cultural and religious ties between Marrakech and Jerusalem in the 18th and 19th centuries. Additionally, it links Jewish religious figures in Marrakech to the history of migration from Spain following the fall of al-Andalus.
