Musee biblique d'Amsterdam is hosting an exhibition on Moroccan Jews from September 15 until January 15. The exhibition, which lies within the scope of the 400 years celebrations of relations between Holland and Morocco, will serve as a showcase of traditional clothes, photographs and manuscripts related to Moroccan Jews. The objective of the event is to present the richness of history and co-existence of Muslim and Jewish communities in Morocco. Bladi Net reports that the majority of the objects to be displayed during the event comes from Morocco-Belgian Paul Dahan, the son of a Jewish family from Tafilalet.
