My Libya

ليبيا

June 1967
lives turned 180 degrees, from friend to foe.
Thrust into the unknown to become
International Jewish Refugees from Arab Lands.

This site is dedicated to the Libyan Jew
who has been forcibly uprooted from his home only to
find a scattered refuge across the world.

To the Jew who has been slaughtered on whims of passing,
to the one taken from his home in the middle of the night
without any attestation to his whereabout, the precious
one has no voice at best or no resting place at worst.

A place for you, my fellow Libyan and any others,
who want to learn, experience and appreciate
the Jews Libyan heart.

Anti-Semitic circumstances in my ancestral country forced thousands of Jews to become overnight international refugees in June 1967.
To keep the spirit of my people alive, I present a
deliberation of our
once-upon-a- time culture, where our happiness and sadness were experienced. My narrative includes pertinent reflections of the treasure of
Libyan Jews tradition and custom.

I will show a glimpse of the silversmith, the embroider, the scribe, the judge, the distiller, the swimmer, the farmer, the weaver, the coppersmith, the cook, through their arts

Acquaint your self with the rich History and Culture of
My Libya, through memories and personal collection of
photos, poems and recipes
