From November 4-12, 2018, twenty young Angelenos participated in our Federation’s Inside Jewish Morocco trip in partnership with JDC Entwine. The group explored major cities Fez, Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, and Marrakech and their mellahs (Jewish quarters) and history. From observing a Moroccan mosaic workshop to exploring the strong relationship between Jews and Muslims in the third largest mosque in the world, they got an authentic glimpse at Jewish Morocco.
Each year, the Federation partners with JDC Entwine to offer one trip exclusively for Jewish Angelenos in their 20s and 30s. Focusing on humanitarian aid, serving Jews in need, and disaster relief, participants explore the diversity of the global Jewish community, while learning about JDC and Federation’s combined efforts to alleviate hunger and hardship and to help Jews around the world thrive.
