The legacy of Jewish communities across the Middle East and North Africa

Jewish communities across the Middle East and North Africa have long been underrepresented in wider conversations about this complex region's rich cultural heritage. In collaborations with the WJC team, the Jewish Diplomatic Corps worked together in creating a web page celebrating Jews from the Middle East. Our members have worked hard in researching some of the luminaries who have impacted the MENA, as well as written articles on this topic. Our work is not yet done, but we look forward to the next year as we assist the WJC in further promoting MENA Jewish identity and history.
