EDITORS COMMENTS
Washing Day in the Jewish Quarter of Sefrou, Morocco (1929) - A captivating image from the 1920s depicting the Jewish population of the Moroccan village of Sefrou engaged in their daily washing routine along the stream that runs through the village. The women, dressed in traditional attire, are seen washing clothes and dishes at the water's edge while children play nearby. The men, wearing fez hats and robes, help their wives and assist in carrying water from the stream. The stone walls of the houses and the lush greenery in the background add to the picturesque scene. Sefrou, located in the northwestern part of Morocco, was home to a significant Jewish community during the early 20th century. The Jewish population lived in harmony with their Muslim and Berber neighbors, and the village was known for its rich cultural diversity. Washing day was an essential communal activity, bringing the community together to share in the simple yet essential task of cleaning their household items. This photograph, taken in 1929, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Jewish community in Morocco during the 1920s. The image captures the beauty and simplicity of rural life in Morocco, as well as the strong sense of community that existed among the villagers. The stream, which provided the villagers with a vital source of water, played a central role in their daily lives, and washing day was an opportunity to come together and celebrate the simple pleasures of communal living.
