Paper long abstract:
I was born and raised in France believing that every Berber was Muslim. But in Tinghir, my hometown in the Moroccan Atlas, the tales of my grandfathers made me realize some other Berbers were in fact Jewish. However, in the early 60s, despite more than 2000 years of shared history, the Jewish people left the Atlas, the entire community departed. I decided to embrace this memory with the generation who still remembers their presence. One thing leading to another, research leads me to Israel, where I found some families from Tinghir. Sounds from Israel and Morocco, resonating melodies, voices and stories of this dual identity shared between Muslims and Jews.
