Agadir Bouchahaima El Kehaina Cem on Ait Amraim Mountain

Uploaded by DiarnaInfo on Sep 1, 2011
Jews have lived in Agadir, a seaport near the Sous River on the Atlantic coast, since the late Middle Ages as Jewish merchants settled there and conducted trade with Europe, particularly Amsterdam. In fact, the Dutch relied on Jewish merchants in Agadir for ostrich feathers, indigo, wax, gum arabic, and dates. Two pieces of marble and several mounds of rocks are the only remnants of the Jewish cemetery, which dates back to 1505 when the Portuguese fortified it. The abandoned scene reminds one of the Biblical phrase "from dust to dust" and evokes a singular sense of loss and nostalgia for the people who once thrived here. Agadir literally means fortified enclosure in Amazigh (Berber) language .To learn more about this site and explore others, visit our exhibit website (http://www.jewishmorocco.org/?page_id=1148).
