Jewish cult
Some Jewish populations has lived in the presaharic valleys for over twenty
centuries and has kept its religion through the years, in spite of the conversion to Islam of the other inhabitants.
For the Jewish cult, there was a synagogue and a Hebrew cemetery in every
village where the Hebrews had their own neighbourhood. There, they did some specific activities: trade, money lending, silverwork and
other kinds of handicraft.
Almost all of the Jewish population immigrated to Israel in 1967 as a
consequence of the Six Days war. |
