Tiznit, in the Souss region of southern Morocco, was home to a Jewish community renowned for its goldsmith and jeweler craftsmen, who produced the famous silver jewelry of the Amazigh tradition. Often Berber-speaking, its members were integrated into the economic exchanges with the surrounding Berber populations and organized around their synagogues. From 1948 onward, and even more so during the 1950s and 1960s, almost the entire community emigrated, primarily to Israel.
