North Africa Jewish Heritage Center, Jewish heritage museum in Jerusalem, Israel

The North Africa Jewish Heritage Center is a museum in Jerusalem dedicated to the history and culture of Jewish communities from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The collection includes artifacts, documents, and photographs that document the daily life and traditions of these populations.

The building was begun in 1865 as one of the first houses of Mahane Israel, the second Jewish neighborhood outside Jerusalem's Old City walls, founded by the Maghrebi community under Rabbi David ben Shimon. Known as the courtyard of Rabbi Meir Ovadia, it held a kollel, a shelter, a study house and a synagogue around an inner courtyard with a cistern. David Amar initiated its restoration, completed in stages in 1988 and 2008–2011, and the center opened on 5 June 2011.

The center reveals how North African Jewish communities maintained their way of life through generations, displaying their customs, religious celebrations, and traditional crafts. Visitors can observe how these groups preserved their identity through everyday objects and artistic practices.

The center has two entrances: 13 HaMa'aravim Street in the Mahane Israel neighborhood and 16 David HaMelech Street on the opposite side. The street leading to it is a pedestrian mall laid out as an Andalusian garden. The building has four floors, with a small synagogue on the first and a conference hall on the fourth.

The restoration was controversial: critics called it "importing foreign architecture and damaging a historic building." The center opened in June 2011 with President Shimon Peres and former President Yitzhak Navon present. The building was renamed for David Amar, the Casablanca businessman who funded the work.
