The association expressed its most sincere condolences to his family, friends and all those who had the privilege of crossing his path. The profound impact she had on those around her and on Moroccan society as a whole is undeniable. His tireless efforts to promote dialogue and mutual understanding between the Muslim and Jewish communities constitute a precious legacy that the Mimouna Association is committed to perpetuating.
