History
Famille juive de Tunisie, attestée à Tunis et dans sa banlieue — La Goulette, Kheireddine — ainsi qu'à Béja. Deux pièces la documentent sur ce site, l'une et l'autre déposées en août 2026 par Gad Bellity. La première est une lettre de 1924 au Grand Rabbin de Tunisie, écrite par Titine Bellity, fille de Fradji Bellity, à l'occasion de ses fiançailles à Béja. La seconde est « Il était Tune fois » (Vérone éditions, 2022), livre de souvenirs de Tania Bellity sur le judaïsme tunisien du XXᵉ siècle — langue judéo-tunisienne, traditions, quartiers, métiers, cuisine —, que son frère a relu et publié après sa mort. L'autrice y nomme ses parents Sylvette et Fradji, ses frères Dov, Gad et Gabriel, son oncle maternel Lucien Sitbon et les Meïmoun ; elle a vécu en Tunisie jusqu'à ses dix-huit ans avant de gagner la France en 1982, au terme du départ qui a vidé la communauté tunisienne à partir des années 1960.
