Rebbi Mose Synagogue
The Rebbi Mose Synagogue (often associated with the shrine of Rabbi Yehuda Al-Jabali) is a significant site of Jewish heritage in Ksar El Kebir. It is particularly known as the resting place of Rabbi Yehuda Al-Jabali, an 18th-century sage and 'miracle-worker' who is deeply revered by the Jewish community. Interestingly, the site is also known locally by the name 'Sidi Belabbass,' a title given by local Muslims out of respect for the Rabbi's perceived miracles. This dual reverence makes the synagogue and its associated shrine a poignant example of the historical coexistence and shared spiritual landscape between Jews and Muslims in northern Morocco. Each year, Jewish pilgrims gather here to celebrate the Rabbi's Hilloula.
