Questo contributo si prefigge lo scopo di presentare uno fra i più noti di questi casi: il pellegrinaggio alla sinagoga della Ghriba a Djerba per la festa ebraica di Lag Ba’Omer . Si tratta di un rituale religioso in un certo senso condiviso, attraverso il quale è possibile rintracciare aspetti plurali per quanto concerne le nazionalità e le componenti religiose, incoraggiati dalla perifericità intesa in senso geografico, religioso e politico (Albera, Couroucli, 2009; Albera, Pénicaud, 2017). Lo Stato tunisino sostiene il pellegrinaggio, che trasmette un’immagine positiva del paese, in quanto luogo di tolleranza e fraternità nella diversità (Boissevain, Isnart, 2017) e favorisce un certo tipo di turismo religioso (Riecou, Souissi, 2016). Questa immagine si impone nonostante l’evento festivo sia stato macchiato a più riprese dal sangue a causa di attacchi terroristici, come quelli del maggio 2023 (Dumas, 2023), del 2002 e del 1985, oltre che percorso dai riverberi delle tensioni israelo-palestinesi, al punto che Dionigi Albera e Manoël Pénicaud (2022) riferiscono di un «Paradoxical Pilgrimage». Il capitolo si compone di tre paragrafi. Nel primo si intende analizzare i miti fondativi della Ghriba. Il secondo è dedicato alle connessioni tra dimensione religiosa e quella sociale di tale pellegrinaggio, soffermandosi sulla convivenza tra gli ebrei e i musulmani a partire dalla condivisione dei riti e delle cerimonie. Nel terzo paragrafo si vuole evidenziare come il pellegrinaggio alla Ghriba possa essere inserito in una serie di tappe che “preparano” a esso, e dunque che è inscritto in un percorso più ampio e in un processo più generale, di cui è il culmine, per altro il più importante e il suo ruolo nel potenziamento del turismo tunisino. Quello conclusivo sintetizza la multidimensionalità del pellegrinaggio e il suo ruolo nella promozione dell’economia tunisina.

Le workshop international « Connectivités djerbiennes : Globalisations méditerranéennes des Juifs de Djerba » que nous avons co-organisé, initialement prévu en mars 2020 à l'IMéRA à Marseille, s'est finalement tenu en présentiel les 27 et 28 juin 2022. Son objectif était d'inaugurer une recherche collective et pluridisciplinaire menée dans le cadre d'un programme financé par l'A*Midex (Aix-Marseille univ.) en partenariat avec le Centre de recherche français à Jérusalem (CRFJ) et l'Institut de recherche sur le Maghreb contemporain (IRMC) à Tunis. Les difficultés d'organisation d'événements internationaux durant la pandémie COVID-19 ont conduit à reporter cet atelier au terme de ce programme, même si un certain nombre d'événements intermédiaires 3 ont permis de jalonner la mise en dialogue des différentes recherches effectuées par les membres du groupe. Celui-ci se compose d'universitaires français, israéliens et tunisiens, en mesure d'appréhender la diaspora des Juifs de Djerba dans ses points d'ancrages principaux, qui établissent entre eux diverses connectivités, et dessinent de façon originale une globalisation méditerranéenne nourrie d'échanges sud-sud.

For the past 14 years, the JDC-supported Kanfei Yonah school in Djerba, Tunisia, has given young girls and women access to education.

Each egg, a wish on the Jewish pilgrimage to the strange Tunisian synagogue

Tunis , D.N.C , Un arrêté d'interdiction de séjour vient de frapper une famille d'usuriers notoires de l'ile de Djerba , en raison de l'action néfaste qu'elle exerçait. Cette mesure a été unanimenient approuvée par la population et des délégations de Musulmans et d'Israélites tunisiens ont exprimé au Gouvernement leur reconnaissance pour cette décision

L'étude des Ghribas saintes juives de Tunisie dans leur contexte sacré et religieux, suit ma précédente recherche sur le culte de Ghribat El Guettar "importé" du sud tunisien au sud israélien. Les Ghribas (de l'arabe "étrangères"), sont d'antiques synagogues au cœur desquelles trône un miraculeux rouleau de la Torah. Ces synagogues sont liées à de mystérieuses figures féminines, saintes populaires. Les Ghribas, tout comme les sanctuaires des grands rabbins et kabbalistes, attiraient de nombreux pèlerins juifs dont des musulmans. Ghribat Djerba, la plus populaire, attire actuellement, au pèlerinage annuel en Tunisie, des milliers de pèlerins. "L'importation" de figures saintes telles que Ghribat Djerba, Ghribat El Guettar et celles des rabbins vénérés, a suivi l'immigration des juifs de Tunisie en Israël.

The Berber people, natives of the Maghreb region, are located on the island of Djerba, where Jewish culture is firmly established. In addition, traces of connection with Jerusalem, the center of the Jewish community, persist throughout the island. The island of Djerba is the only holy place for Jews outside Jerusalem. It is also well known as the ‘Antechamber of Jerusalem’ and preserves its traces relatively well. Therefore, Djerba Island is a very meaningful place as it can look at the exchanges of Jewish diaspora civilization, coexistence, and win-win relationship between Islam and Jews, and Berber. In order to understand the meaning of ‘Antechamber of Jerusalem’, this paper aims to briefly examine the Jewish situation in three Maghreb countries (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) before and after French colonial rule, and to examine the current situation of Jews in the region developed in history. Next, we will assess the characteristics of the Jewish community on the island of Djerba, called the ‘Antechamber of Jerusalem’. Like the rest of the Maghreb region, the island of Djerba is also a place of cultural division. Nevertheless, the memory of Jerusalem remains the strongest in history on the island of Djerba. In this sense, it seems meaningful to examine the issue of epistemological ‘rupture or 'continuity’. This shows how Jews were able to coexist and co-exist on the island of Djerba, the ‘Antechamber of Jerusalem’, and how the French colonization and subsequent process led to a conflict and a ‘rupture’ in the coexistence. Therefore, through this paper, we will be able to understand the Jewish cultural identity of the island of Djerba, coexistence, and conflict of civilization

Berber and Jerusalem are not often mentioned because there is not much connection between them. This is because the existence of berber itself has not been mentioned in history. Moreover, the geographical distance from Jerusalem made it impossible to imagine the Berber connection to Jerusalem. However, 'Yennayer', the most important festival for Berbers today, mentions the ancient Pharaoh and Jerusalem. It shows that the relationship between the Berbers, Jerusalem, and the jews has existed since ancient times. This study examines the mechanism of 'conflict and coexistence' between Berber and Jerusalem from ancient times to the present. First, examine the relationship between the Berbers, Jerusalem, and Jews, focusing on the era of the Pharaoh and the era after the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. This process seems very meaningful in examining the relationship between the ancient Berbers and Jerusalem. Second, although there may have been conflicts, there are regions where the paradigm of 'coexistence' has been maintained relatively well. This is not Jerusalem, but the case of Djerba island, which contains the soul of Jerusalem, is a case in point. Although Djerba island is an islamization place, it is a unique place where is lamic ibadism, Berbers, and Jews form a 'coexistence' relationship. It examine how they were able to maintain a relationship of coexistence. Finally, we examine the conflict relationship that erupted again before and after French colonial rule. Such a process provides a meaningful interpretation in examining how the mechanism of 'conflict and coexistence' between Berber and Jerusalem has been formed, and is useful for understanding various forms of cultural exchange in the region.
