schema:articleBody	Morocco's Jewish community has celebrated the Hanukkah "miracle" of the normalisation of Israeli-Moroccan relations in a Casablanca ceremony held via a video streaming platform. The diplomatic breakthrough, linked to Washington's recognition of Rabat's sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara territory, was announced on the first day of the Jewish Festival of Lights last Thursday. Dozens of faithful and guests including US ambassador David Fischer took part in the ceremony broadcast live on the Zoom video-conference platform Monday evening from the Casablanca Olympic Stadium. "The announcement was made on the first day of Hanukkah ... so this is our miracle of Hanukkah 2020," said Rabbi Levi Banon. According to Jewish tradition, a new candle is lit on each of the festival's eight nights to commemorate the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after its desecration in the year 160 BC. "Usually we spend Hanukkah together as a community," said Banon, calling it a "moment of warmth and light". "This year we couldn't do it face-to-face, but we said no to the darkness," the Moroccan rabbi told AFP after the ritual candle lighting. Ken Ouhanna, 35, designated master of the ceremony, said on the normalisation that its timing "on the day of the first candle of the Hanukkah is a sign from God for me, the sign of a miracle". Morocco is home to North Africa's largest Jewish community, which has been there since ancient times and grew with the arrival of Jews expelled from Spain by Catholic kings from 1492. It reached about 250,000 in the late 1940s, 10 percent of the national population, but many Jews left after the creation of Israel in 1948. About 3,000 Jews remain in Morocco and the Casablanca community is one of the country's most active. hr-ko/sof/fz
