Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto Inaugurates First Orthodox Jewish Nursery in Morocco
Feb 9, 2021
Mohammedia, Casablanca Feb 9, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Rabbi Pinto, president of Casablanca's Hebrew Court, recently opened Morocco's first nursery to help the Jewish community.
It's the first of its kind in Morocco's economic capital and will provide religious education that follows the teachings of Judaism to the children of Casablanca.
This social project follows the signing of agreements for cooperation between Israel and Morocco and is supervised by Rabbi Pinto's Shuva-Morocco association.
Rabbi Pinto Explains the Crèche
Rabbi Pinto told the media that he would have never been able to open the crèche if not for Morocco. It's one place where Muslims and Jews coexist and practice their own religious rituals with complete freedom because HM King Mohammed VI provides protection.
The Rabbi's crèche is located in Casablanca on Boulevard Driss Slaoui and welcomes children from the ages of 2-years to 7-years-old who follow the Jewish faith. Children are taught the basics of religion, including the reading of the Talmud.
The classes are offered free of charge, so there are no tuition fees due. Rabbi Pinto covers costs through his Shuva-Maroc association.
The association created a press release that explained the school's objective is to assist Moroccan Jews with educating their children in a religious setting where they can learn Jewish principles. They continued on to explain the crèche is working to enable Orthodox members to practice their individual rituals in excellent conditions according to the Jewish religion.
It's also worth noting that Morocco has finally decided to include the culture and history of the country's Jews in school textbooks.
Who is Rabbi Pinto?
Rabbi Pinto was born into a prominent Moroccan Jewish family. He taught Torah classes in Israel when he first began and is well-known and respected for having a straightforward approach and a confident personality. He participates in many community activities and provides a lot of services as well.
The Rabbi lived in Kiryat Malakhi, Israel, where he attended Yeshiva. He's been in the spotlight for many years now, and he continues to write books and provide his services around the world in hopes of making a difference in their lives.
He has served as President of the Hebrew Court in Casablanca since April 13, 2019. Rabbi Pinto earned the position following the passing of former Chief Rabbi Aharon Monsonego in 2018.
Today, the Rabbi travels between Morocco and the United States. He continues to write books, help needy families, and provide other useful services for Jews around the world. Rabbi Pinto takes pride in providing items such as scholarships, food, and books to less fortunate people.
Rabbi Pinto has a large following of people all around the world. It's not surprising considering the positive influence he brings on others. He is an honorable and commendable man who believes that "Our secret in life is ambition; the bigger it is, the longer we live." It's evident that he lives this, and maybe we should too!
