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. 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.
It was challenged in the Jewish community by L'Union Marocaine and, among Moroccan Nationalist Movement, by Mohamed El Kholti in L'Action du Peuple.
