Preserving the history and culture of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa with Lyn Julius (and Harif)

In this episode, we're joined by Lyn Julius, journalist, author, and founder of Harif, a UK charity representing Jews from North Africa and the Middle East. Lyn is dedicated to promoting the history, culture and heritage of Jews from the MENA region. In today’s episode, Lisa speaks with Lyn about her book “Uprooted: How 3000 Years of Jewish Civilisation in the Arab World Vanished Overnight” and why it's important to know the history of the MENA Jewish communities.

As you’ll hear in this episode, you can join Harif for their free webinars on a wide range of interesting topics, including the upcoming talk on the stars of the Algerian music hall on August 26, 2025 at 2:30pm Montreal-time and 7:30pm UK-time.

At Chai Montreal: The Podcast, it’s important for us to share diverse stories and uplift the many voices of the Jewish community. We thank Lyn for her work to promote the history of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa and we hope that you follow Harif to learn more.
