CHI UPDATE: Documenting the Mellahs (Jewish Quarters) of Tiznit, Morocco

鶹ֱ implementing partner Ratiba Rigalma presents an introduction to her research on the mellahs of Tiznit, a city on the west coast of the region of Souss-Massa, Morocco. Mellah is Moroccan Arabic for referring to a neighborhood inhabited only by people of Jewish faith.

UPDATE: 鶹ֱ Initiatives to Safeguard Cultural Heritage in North Africa

Last year, 鶹ֱ Cultural Heritage Initiatives (鶹ֱ CHI) received a major grant from an anonymous donor to document, preserve, and promote the cultural heritage of ethnic and religious minorities in Tunisia and Morocco by focusing on the rich traditions of communal collaboration within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In late 2022, 鶹ֱ received a follow-up grant from the anonymous donor to expand the project to Sahel region of Africa (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso). Many heritage sites in the region face acute threats, which could lead to the loss of an irreplaceable heritage.
