Rabat – The president of the Jewish community of Casablanca died on Wednesday August 10 in Casablanca at the age of 97.
The news of his death was announced by Vanessa Paloma, a member of the Casablanca Jewish community.
“The sad news of the death this morning of a great leader of our exemplary Jewish Community of Casablanca: Mr. President Boris Toledano left me heartbroken. He was a great man, an example of joy, courage, and rectitude,” she said on her Facebook page. 
Aged 97, he died a natural death according to his friends and relatives.
