Council of Jewish Communities of Morocco

The Council of Jewish Communities of Morocco (CCIM) is a central organization for Moroccan Jews established in 1947 during the French protectorate, in the context of the colonial government's post-World War II reforms attempting to quell the Jewish youth leadership's calls for democracy and self-expression.

[1][2] In 1918, the French colonial administration recognized local Jewish community councils.

[1][2] The organization published La Voix des communautés, a monthly newspaper representing the mainstream views of the Westernized class of Moroccan Jews.

[1] This period coincided with Operation Yachin, when the majority of Moroccan Jews migrated to Israel.

[2] In July 2022, secretary-general of the CCIM Serge Berdugo expressed the recognition and pride in the measures reorganizing the Jewish community in Morocco taken by the royal cabinet of King Muhammad VI.
