Megorashim Against Toshavim

Megorashim Against Toshavim

The two Jewish courts of Fez have finally clashed openly. The Megorashim's rabbis insist their Castilian legal customs, refined over centuries in Castile, are simply better suited to commerce and contract than the older Toshavim rite. The Toshavim, understandably, do not agree, and both communities have appealed to us to settle the matter, or at least to stop pretending the dispute will settle itself.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_morocco.2.historical_info The real Takkanot de Fes were a body of communal ordinances issued by Megorashim rabbis beginning in 1494, gradually establishing Castilian-influenced legal custom as the dominant rite in Fez. The Toshavim did not simply disappear, the two communities kept largely separate synagogues, courts, and cemeteries for generations, and it took well over a century for the distinction between them to fade into a single Fez Jewish community.
