Region: Maroc (Anti-Atlas, province de Tata)
Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Tata is a city in the Moroccan Anti-Atlas (Tata province), at the heart of an oasis region on the borders of the Sahara. Its mellah was home to a Jewish community active in trans-Saharan trade — trafficking gold, salt, and spices — as well as in goldsmithing and tanning. Almost all of the Jews left the city in the 1950s and 1960s, heading for Casablanca or Israel.

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Tata 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
