Note 224 — Chapter III · THE JEWS AND JEWRY IN RABAT.

“In Terjgient there is a people called the Medjehrahs, of Jewish extraction, who, to escape death (?) embraced Islamism. They have the peculiar Jewish features, and the Arabs say, their houses have the Jewish smell. They live in quarters set apart for themselves, but they do not intermarry: they are scribes and merchants, but are never raised to the office of Caïd or Imaum. They do not observe Friday as the Sabbath.”—Davidson’s Journal.
