My name is Mussia and I’m six years young. I live in the city of Casablanca in Morocco. Morocco is a Muslim country with a rich Jewish past. Our city, Casablanca, is a blend of the old and the new: On our street I see peddlers slowly pushing wagons full of merchandise side by side with fast-moving cars. Elderly women wearing traditional Djellabas, walk next to businessmen wearing fancy suits.
Today we’ll join my father on a journey to Marrakesh; we’ll tour the mellah — the old Jewish quarter; we’ll buy spices at the market in honor of Shabbat; and we’ll ride camels at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
