Morocco has the largest remaining Jewish community in North Africa, dating back more than two millennia to the pre-Roman Jewish colonies of Mauretania Tingitania. The Jews of Morocco represent a remnant of an ancient, thriving community that numbered more than a quarter of a million people at its peak in the late 1950s. In 2020, it was estimated that there are about 2,100 Jews in the country. The Conseil des Communautés Israélites du Maroc (Council of Israelite Communities of Morocco) is the Moroccan affiliate of the World Jewish Congress.
