MOROCCO
An eighteenth-century poetic
The Eighteenth century was a period of intellectual and spiritual prosperity for Jews in Morocco.
At that time, many piyyutim inserted in the local Sephardic liturgy are spreading throughout the Mediterranean basin.
The Enlightenment has not yet reached its peak in Europe and the revival of the Hebrew language will wait another century before works inspired by the Haskalah movement does emerge. Yet, in Morocco, a Jewish poet of the eighteenth century, David Hassine (born in Meknes in 1722 and died in 1792) with its roots in the depths of Torah and exegesis Biblical heir to the cultural tradition and ritual of the English Golden Age, made his contemporaries, and especially for his Creator of piyyutim, liturgical poems sung in Hebrew a living, rich and melodious.
David Hassine is one of the best known figures of the Moroccan Jewish liturgical poetry and piyyutim were distributed throughout the Sephardic world. Indeed, he devoted his life to piyyut. He sings, to witness, small and big joys, feasts, pains and tragedies of a community it is a harmonious and passionate echo, echo that hope to return bimillenary Zion
