Federation to promote Moroccan Jewry in the UK

A new organisation to promote the presence of Moroccan Jewry in the UK was established earlier this month.

The World Federation of Moroccan Jewry’s (WFMJ) official launch was attended by more than 200 people at the refurbished Sephardi Porat Yosef Synagogue in Hendon.

Michael Roman, a member of the organisation’s 15-strong committee, felt that the WFMJ’s promise to promote Moroccan heritage as part of Jewish culture, would boost the Sephardi community in the UK.

“We hope to organise different cultural events – including traditional dance and song performances.”
