A trip in search of your roots in Morocco normally lasts 10-15 days. The most popular destinations are Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, and Erfoud, the birthplace of the Abuhatzeira dynasty, the village of Todra, and the graves of righteous men. In Morocco there are numerous graves of righteous men where hilulot are held.
On Tu Be’av (which falls on August 9 this year) the celebration for Rabbi David Ben Amram will take place in Wazam in the north of Morocco. Ben Amram, who lived in the 18th century, was born in Hebron and went to Morocco as a representative of the Jewish community in the Holy Land.
By the way, the Sahara is not a good place to visit in the summer because the temperature reaches 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit. A private trip to Morocco costs between USD 1,500-4,500 per person, depending on the type of hotel and services purchased. A local guide costs USD 60 a day. A minibus with gas and driver is USD 280 a day. It is customary to pay 50 dirhams at the entrance to cemeteries (about USD 5.70).
It is easy to get oriented in Morocco. The big cities have Jewish communities, the largest of which is in Casablanca. You can contact the community by phone and get directions to the cemeteries. Most cemeteries have guards and it is easy to find the graves. Sometimes there is a cluster of graves in a small, relatively remote town.
