Djerba, an island off the southeastern coast of Tunisia, is home to one of North Africa's only thriving (albeit small) Jewish communities. Roughly 1200 Jews live there, running Jewish schools, synagogues, and Kosher restaurants. Here, bride-to-be Oshrit Uzan heads home after her mikveh — a traditional Jewish ceremony where a woman is bathed as part of wedding preparation.
