Summary

"The varied art and culture of Moroccan Jewry is seen in this volume through several lenses: the works of Orientalist artists, such as Delacroix, who made Jews the subjects of their paintings; the intricate jewelry, metalwork, gold thread, and cloth created by the Jews themselves; and Jewish spiritual culture, as manifest in synagogues, in folklore and mysticism, and in pilgrimages to holy sites, many of which were shared with Muslim neighbors."--Jacket.
