Levy was the founder and secretary general of the foundation of Jewish-Moroccan cultural heritage, and the director of Casablanca’s Jewish Museum.
[3] After the suppression of the Moroccan Communist party in the mid-1960s, Levy continued his activism and work with the Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS), and began an academic career as a linguist at Mohammed V University in Rabat.
In that capacity, he worked to create local libraries and professional training centres.
He edited and contributed to several Moroccan publications, including La Nation (Morocco), Al-Jamahir and Al Bayane.
[4] In 2014, Mimouna Associations in Morocco decided to create an award in the name of Simon Levy, given to people who have been involved in the preservation of the Jewish Heritage and the promotion of this culture within the young generation, often involving a great deal of commitment on a regular basis.
