תקציר/הערה This paper addresses issues of translating both words and rituals as Muslim cemeterykeepers care for Jewish graves and recite traditional prayers for the dead in Morocco.Several issues of translation must be dealt with while considering these rare and disappearing practices. The first issue to be discussed is the translation of Hebrew inscriptions into French by cemetery keepers. One cemetery keeper in Meknes has tried tocompile an exhaustive index of the names and dates represented on the gravestonesunder her care. The Muslim guard of the Jewish cemetery in Sefrou, on the other hand,has somewhat famously told visitors differing stories about his ability and willingnessto pray the Kaddish over the graves of emigrated relatives who cannot return to markan anniversary death. These practices provide the context for considering how the actof Muslims caring for Jewish graves creates linguistic and ritual translations of traditional Jewish ancestor care.
