‚Jews were part of our identity‘: University of Haifa’s Moroccan students explore shared memory – Students from Morocco share how their country’s recently established diplomatic ties with Israel have paved the way for new academic opportunities at the University of Haifa. | israelhayom.com

Atman Errachid found himself surrounded by a cheering crowd as he watched his home country of Morocco play Spain in the World Cup. Such exuberance would have made sense back home, but Errachid was delighted to see such enthusiasm from an audience one wouldn’t assume would be so thrilled about their victory – Israelis.
Errachid is in Israel currently earning his master’s degree in Jewish Studies at the University of Haifa, a campus that is home to a diverse student body. There, shared society is not a theory or an elusive dream one hopes for – but a reality.
