Casablanca (Morocco), Jan 25 (EFE) .- (Camera: Fatima Zohra Bouaziz) The rabbinical court of Casablanca, the last in Morocco and the Arab world, has been active for more than one hundred years and continues to work despite the increasing dwindling Jewish community in the Maghreb country, which does not exceed a thousand people.To legislate marriages, divorces and inheritances has historically been the work of these "Jewish judges" with jurisdiction only in the civil sphere, since Moroccan Jews depend on the ordinary courts in criminal matters.FOOTAGE OF THE RABBINICAL COURT.SOUNDBITES OF JOSÉ ISRAEL, GREAT RABBI OF CASABLANCA. Translation:"I'm in charge of divorces, marriages of inheritances, donations and all thanks to his majesty the King, who allows the rabbinical court to continue.""Now we have more work to do than 30 years ago. Why? Because there are many Jews living outside Morocco, who come to Morocco after their father died, 50 years later, because they need to sell the inheritance, so we work the same amount or more, than 50 years ago."
