		Casablanca is found on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco to the south of the capital Rabat and is the city famous for its cross over style of Moroccan and European culture.

		From this time with the increased commercial traffic, Casablanca grew at an astounding rate; by the beginning of 1860 the population was 8.000 inhabitants, by 1907 it had risen to 20,000.

		Casablanca, for example, is home to five main synagogues (and two dozen tiny ones large enough for only 10 worshipers), six kosher restaurants and a kosher liquor store, Jewish schools and butcher and bakery shops.
