His commitment to preserving Morocco's plural identity and its rich Jewish heritage fills us all with pride,” he stated.

Reflecting on the millennia-old shared history between Jews and Muslims in Morocco, the ambassador highlighted: “For centuries, our communities have lived side by side in our country, sharing culinary traditions, language, music, and much more. Under the enlightened leadership of the Monarchy, we have overcome historical challenges together while remaining united and proud of our diversity as Moroccans, wherever we may be in the world.”

“This Hiloula, celebrated in the Moroccan tradition, attests to the enduring nature of this bond,” he continued, emphasizing that the prayers offered for His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the Royal Family “illustrate the importance of strong leadership in maintaining this living connection.” Ambassador Amrani expressed particular satisfaction in the unwavering attachment of the Moroccan Jewish community to its roots, noting that “this attachment to our spiritual and cultural heritage serves as an example for all.” He also underscored the contemporary relevance of the Moroccan model of peaceful coexistence: “As Moroccans, we can not only remind the world that Jews and Muslims can live harmoniously together but also embody the hope for a better future for our region.”

Throughout the ceremony, members of the Moroccan Jewish community expressed their deep gratitude toward His Majesty King Mohammed VI. They especially praised the Sovereign's enlightened vision and unwavering commitment to preserving their cultural and religious heritage.
