Shabbat in Marrakech

Shabbat in Marrakech, with family or friends: J Marrakech organises the house, the table and the services so that Friday closes calmly.

Friday

In the afternoon, the JKECH team delivers the Shabbat meals: challot, fish, salads, hot dishes, desserts. The hot plate and urn are set, lights programmed. You receive Marrakech candle-lighting times. For services, Beth El in Guéliz welcomes you on Friday night; on some estates a minyan can be organised on site.

Saturday

Shabbat lunch served cold or kept warm on the hot plate, seudah shlishit in the late afternoon. The team knows the constraints of Saturday: nothing to switch on, nothing to sign. The pool, garden and lounge are yours. Saturday night, after havdalah, the city is available again: dinner in Guéliz or an evening at the villa.

Kosher full board

Meals are prepared in a kitchen supervised by the Beth Din of Casablanca, with product traceability and filmed kashering on request. Moroccan and Western cuisine: cooked salads, fish, tagines, grills, pastries. You tell us the level of kashrut you follow, the number of covers and any dietary needs.

• Friday night, Saturday lunch and seudah shlishit
• Challot, kosher wine, candles on request
• Hot plate, urn and programmed lights
• Kashering of the villa kitchen available
• Shabbat only or full board all week

Shabbat chatan, bar mitzvah and family Shabbat

For a Shabbat chatan or a bar mitzvah, the estate is privatised: services on site when possible, a large table, rooms for all guests. We coordinate the caterer, logistics and timings with the family and the rabbi.
