History

According to tradition, the first construction of the synagogue occurred in the 13th century, known then as the Mahrit Synagogue. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1630. It was rebuilt by the Toledano family in 1646, following their arrival in Meknes.
The synagogue is named after Rabbi Meir Toledano, a rabbi of the Toledano family, who rose to fame by editing and publishing in 1803 his stepfather Moses ben Daniel's works on the Torah under the name Melekhet ha-Kodesh.
