- 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.

Anyone know what language is being written on the egg at 4:22 ?
French
עבודה זרה
She meant the Jews and the amazigh
since 586 b.c.e.
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
Jehudah no me lo creo los bereberes estos Africanos son la ostia 😂😂 parece ser que tiene huevos la cosa eh ....
24:30 those jews are arabs, arabic is a language not a race or a relegion
“Arap world” imagine thinking Jerba is in Ar*bia. WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA🤣🤣🤣
The Djer Dynasty were Egyptians, not Jewish... very interesting. They are the Dyer Surname, okay
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 ...
Garibha just literally means a pregnancy.
ghariba means weird or foreign in arabic
Ghariba means a foreigner .
what language are you referring to?
They worship Satan too?
PLZ don't let u.s or u.k destroy this place as they are doing in gaza
