- 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.

Thank you for the information, I wish we had some of the traditions and rituals in the Southern UK
I hope they never leave because they are part of the fabric of that society and losing that richness would be a calamity…
Anyone know what language is being written on the egg at 4:22 ?
French
Djerba jews are traditional and very religious, they even voted for Ennahdha party , Islamists ,after the revolution
the biggest mistake they did they were very naive thank god no islamists anymore .....
עבודה זרה
Do the Jews of Jerba read the Bible with the conventional German/Yiddish pronunciation or another one closer to the original reading?
All the Jews learning in the original form the reason Jews used Yiddish and ladino was cause Hebrew was considered a holy language
They read it in Hebrew or Judeo_arabic
@@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.
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.
@@Mr00000111 Thanks
since 586 b.c.e.
“Arap world” imagine thinking Jerba is in Ar*bia. WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣
Djerba in Tunisia... Tunisia is an Amazigh and Arab country.
Whether you like it or not, we don’t care 🤍
@@iyan7537 Nope Tunisia is not an arap country. Araps aren’t even from there do how can it be your country. It’s literally in Africa. Try again. He thought Jerba is arap WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA😹
@@John-pk9rw Tunisia has more than three thousand years of civilization and has a great diversity by virtue of Tunisia's containment of all things: Amazighi, Arabic, Islamic, African and Mediterranean.... Muslim and peaceful people speak fluent Arabic and use Arabic in its dialect..... As a Tunisian, I want to tell you to leave Tunisia alone and care about your country. This is something that doesn't concern you and doesn't interfere with what doesn't belong to you hahahahaha
@@iyan7537 North Africa went downhill the second it became Muslim and started speaking Arabic.
@@John-pk9rw Dude knows his stuff.
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.
I hope those Jews who left Tunisia return once they realise Israel doesn’t have their best interests at heart!! It was criminal of Israel to force them either directly or by setting of bombs and blaming Muslims! The Israeli professor of history Avi shlaim was an eye witness to this in Iraq!
Jehudah no me lo creo los bereberes estos Africanos son la ostia 😂😂 parece ser que tiene huevos la cosa eh ....
sister the jews in north africa are living there since many years i think they are called mizrahi jews like aschkenazi in europe
Qué quiere decir ?
Thanks for this well made documentary. One observation however. Please do not call us Arabs as Tunisians are Amazighs or Berbers .You distorted our identity and history by saying that. Please do your homework before narrating.
The Djer Dynasty were Egyptians, not Jewish... very interesting. They are the Dyer Surname, okay
24:30 those jews are arabs, arabic is a language not a race or a relegion
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.
She meant the Jews and the amazigh
Tunisian Jews have amazigh roots yshe can’t separate us
Two tribes of Israelites thousands years before settled in Pakistan and Afghanistan known as Pashtoon or Pathan or Afghan extremely brave defeated many super powers in recent Russia and America, Taliban belong to Pashtoon ethnicity in other words actual Israelites.
Yes it is🙏🏼
Until relatively recently, many carried Hebrew names and claimed descent from a few Israelite tribes. I spoke to Afghani Pashtun a year or so ago, but they deny all knowledge of this connection.
Pashtoons &pathans are not Jewish people 🌝
@@sanjayrao8090 they&sikhs&so many groups in india belongs to jewish descendents
There's a funny video titled "last two jews in Afghanistan arguing ".
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.
Not true ...
Aww thank god
Well said. But I still find it interesting to watch. And Djerban Jews are still from Israel originally.
Garibha just literally means a pregnancy.
ghariba means weird or foreign in arabic
Ghariba means a foreigner .
what language are you referring to?
PLZ don't let u.s or u.k destroy this place as they are doing in gaza
where are you from ?
Plz don't (I mean do, really plz do) end up like Hitler ended up!
