L'Avenir Illustré

L’Avenir Illustré was a francophone Jewish periodical published in Casablanca, Morocco from 1926 to 1940.[1][2] Its editorial line was Zionist and its targeted readership was primarily the Westernized Jewish elite in Morocco, especially francophone graduates of Alliance Israélite Universelle schools.[1] The periodical was founded by Jonathan Thursz (1895–1976), an Ashkenazi Jew from Poland who studied in Belgium and settled in Morocco under the French protectorate.[1]

It was challenged in the Jewish community by L’Union Marocaine and among Moroccan nationalists by Mohamed El Kholti in L'Action du Peuple.[1]
