Moshe Dadon grew up in Casablanca where he was taught to write prayer books and other holy texts in tiny writing. Young Jewish boys in Morocco were taught this skill so that Jews could carry their holy books and other ritual items through the streets and Islamic mobs would not discover these holy books during their periodic rampages through the Jewish Quarter. Moshe learned the art of “sofer-stam” -- ritual scribe -- at the age of eight. Dadon moved to Israel in 1962 and settled in [[Safed]], finding work as a police inspector with the Tzfat police department. He continued to engage in his hobby of creating artwork based on microcalligraphy. | Moshe Dadon grew up in Casablanca where he was taught to write prayer books and other holy texts in tiny writing.
