- Title
Religion and individual civil rights: Moroccan Jewish citizens in Where Are You Going Moshe?
- Authors
Elkabas, Charles
- Abstract
For decades, questions about Jewish mass emigration from Morocco were never discussed openly, and it is only in the last few years that historians, writers, politicians and film-makers have turned their attention to this delicate subject by debating it in a public forum. While we use Hassan Benjelloun's light-hearted film Where Are You Going Moshe? (2007) as a starting point to review questions of religion, identity and citizenship, we propose that Moroccan Jews left their country en masse because they were deprived of their mobility rights.
