Beit Yehouda Synagogue Assayag
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Beit Yehouda Synagogue Assayag for history; they come to touch a living, breathing piece of Tangier's soul. Stepping inside feels like a quiet conversation with the city's once-vibrant Jewish community, a world preserved in amber. The air itself seems thick with stories, from the intricate tilework to the gentle light filtering through the windows. It’s more than a museum—it’s an intimate and surprisingly personal glimpse into a rich cultural tapestry.
Collection Highlights
Look for the beautifully preserved Torah scrolls and ornate ceremonial objects that bring daily religious life into focus. The old photographs lining the walls are particularly moving, silently telling the stories of the families who worshipped here.

Architecture & Building
The building is a classic example of early 20th-century Moroccan synagogue architecture, with its unassuming exterior giving way to an interior rich with colorful zellij tiles and carved wooden furnishings.
