Isaac Ben Walid Synagogue, Sephardic synagogue in Mellah district, Tétouan, Morocco.
The Isaac Ben Walid Synagogue stands within the Jewish quarter of Tétouan, featuring traditional Moroccan architectural elements and a structured interior layout for religious services.
The synagogue moved to its current location in the new mellah following Sultan Slimane ben Mohammed's decree to construct a mosque at the former Jewish quarter.
The synagogue served as a central institution for 4,200 Sephardic Jews in Tétouan, offering religious education through its second-floor yeshiva and maintaining ritual facilities.
Visitors need to contact Elias at +212 6 67 99 21 19 to arrange access to the synagogue, which now functions primarily as a museum of Jewish heritage.
The building contains a specialized mechanism designed to control the lighting automatically during Sabbath observance, adapting modern technology to religious requirements.
