  • 150,000 Muslims and a thousand Jews make up the population of the island of Djerba, off the Tunisian coast. It is one of the last Jewish communities in the Arab world.
    If you take a stroll through the countless alleys and narrow lanes, you will see names written in Hebrew, identifying the goldsmith traders. Internationally acclaimed jewellers like Youssef Gamoun still follow this age-old tradition.
    El Ghriba is without doubt one of the most significant and most visited synagogues in Africa. It is presented as ‘the ante-chamber to Jerusalem’, because it is said to contain the remains of Solomon's Temple. It is also the site of an annual pilgrimage on the Jewish holiday of Lag BaOmer. From one of the pilgrims, Ruth Davis, an English ethnomusicologist, we discover the many rituals that are performed in the synagogue, mostly by women seeking health and fertility.

      @@eviataryarhi6708 As far as I noticed, no Ashkenazi can read the Bible as did the Jews 2500 years ago. All they know is the Yiddish pronunciation; it's very easy to check when you examine how they read letters whose sounds do not exist in German; they replace the Semitic sounds by German sounds.

      @Mr00000111 2 месяца назад +3

      They read it in the original Hebrew with all/most of the original consonants unlike the Ashkenazi Jews who basically distorted it significantly. Though the Djerba Jews preserved the pronunciation quite intact, it is thought that the Yemenite Jews preserved it even better.

    Israel has twelve tribes. Jews represent three of them (Benjamin, Levi, Judah). The others tribes still exist. Check out Simcha Jacobovici's documentaries (Quest for The Lost Tribes). It will blow your mind.

      How dare you, Jews are not Arabs, that is very offensive. The Amazigh are not Arabs either but they speak Arabic. Turks are not Arabs but they pray in Arabic. Most Syrians are not Arabs but they speak Arabic and so on, so on. Your way of thinking is colonisation and oppression.

    The Ghriba is nothing other than the ancient goddess Ishtar and her fertility eggs, just like the Easter tradition in America. It is definitely a pagan tradition altogether against the commandments of Yah Adonai written in the Torah. This is why they went to Babylon in the first place, and even now, they still need to correct that mistake.
