Hi, Rachel!
I'm also interested in the Bensabats but didn't know they moved back
and forth between Morocco and the Azores, which means you have more
info than I do!

It is a Sephardic Jewish surname. I would be interested in other
Sephardic Jews in the Azores (Sao Miguel, primarily) with the
surnames Cohen (Fortunato, Simy and Rebecca (could be Rivka)) who
emigrated to the States at the turn of the last century, as well
as their friends and my other family members... Bensabats (moved
back and forth between Morocco and the Azores), Bibas, and
Faraches. They were primarily in the cigar industry, I believe,
which is what allowed them to move around. Many went to S.
America. I have had the hardest time tracking the Cohens in Sao
Miguel, however.
