Les Juifs de Nabeul

Nabeul, a city in Cap Bon renowned for its pottery, was home to a Jewish community of merchants and craftsmen integrated into the local economy. Of Tunisian Sephardic tradition, its members had their own synagogues and communal institutions and benefited under the French Protectorate from access to modern education. Like all Tunisian Jewry, the community endured the trials of the Second World War. After independence in 1956, it dispersed, its members emigrating primarily to France and Israel.
