Tinghir-Jerusalem: Echoes of the Mellah
Tinghir-Jerusalem is filmmaker and historian Kamal Hachkar's search for a community that has since vanished, the Berber Jews of Morocco. Hachkar is a Berber Muslim born in Tinghir, Morocco and raised in France. While he would return to Tinghir every summer with his family, it would be years before he discovered that the town once had a thriving Jewish community. By the mid-1960s though, they, along with the other 250,000 Jews of Morocco, had left for Israel.
Hachkar sets off in search of that history. What he discovers in conversations over old family photos and while listening to the stories of the Jews who left Tinghir and the Muslims who remain is a history of close co-operation between communities. They shared a common identity as Berbers, and lived in a town where "the muezzin's call would mingle with that of the morning Jewish prayer." In encounter after encounter, his interlocutors speak wistfully of the past Muslims expressing sadness over the departure of their neighbors, and Jews wondering if that departure was worthwhile.
