This article analyzes the role played by the Moroccan Jewish community in the Spanish colonial policy in Morocco. Our objective is, through historical and documentary analysis, to obtain conclusions that help us understand the social dynamics that occurred in this religious community since the mid-nineteenth century, as well as the nature of its relationship with the Spanish colonial authorities. To do this, we will present a critical and scientific historical synthesis, away from the usual polemical aspect - due to its political implications - with which this issue is often approached in Moroccan society. In the following pages we will examine this historical process, highlighting the identity issue that linked Spain with the Jews of northern Morocco. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
