Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Sokna, an oasis in the Libyan Fezzan, was home to a small Jewish community engaged in trans-Saharan trade in the 17th–19th centuries, serving as an intermediary between Mediterranean markets and sub-Saharan Africa. The community gradually declined in the 19th century with the reorganization of trade routes.

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Sokna give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
