In Morocco, this term refers to any Jewish district, and comes from the word “Melh” (salt). The Mellah of Fez, thought to be the earliest in Morocco, is located in El Yahoudi district in the north of the city. The area used to bustle with life around … small businesses, goldsmiths’ workshops (once a Jewish speciality), synagogues and Talmudic schools., Nowadays, however, the district is largely inhabited by Muslims, mostly coming from the countryside and newly settled in the city. Among the historic sites bearing witness to seven centuries of Jewish life are the Chief Rabbi’s house, the Danan Synagogue and the Jewish cemetery located at one end of the district.
