North Africa Jewish Heritage Center, Jewish heritage museum in Jerusalem, Israel
The North Africa Jewish Heritage Center exhibits artifacts, documents, and photographs detailing the traditions of Jewish communities from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
The museum building, dating from 1865, stands as the first structure in the Mahane Israel neighborhood, constructed by David ben Shimon for the North African Jewish community.
The center contains permanent and temporary exhibitions that present the customs, religious practices, and daily life of North African Jewish populations through centuries.
Located at 16 King David Street in Jerusalem, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM with guided tours available.
Moroccan artisans created intricate zellige mosaic tile work throughout the building during its four-year restoration, maintaining traditional North African design elements.
