One
of
the
most
beautiful
cities
in
Tozeur
,
it
has
a
rich
history
especially
that
a
huge
member
of
jewish
tunisians
used
to
live
there
and
it's
what
explains
the
existence
of
the
star
of
David
in
some
doors.
Though
there
are
currently
no
Jewish
families
living
in
the
area,
it
has
been
home
to
Jews
throughout
history.
A
small
Jewish
community
was
still
active
there
during
the
late
18th
and
early
19th
centuries.
By
the
mid-to-late
19th
century,
Jews
were
trading
in
dates
and
also
working
as
tailors
and
jewelers
.
Most
of
the
date
orchards
were
owned
by
the
Touitou
family,
a
wealthy
family
that
headed
the
Jewish
community
in
the
town.
Between
the
World
Wars,
the
Jewish
population
of
Nefta
,
Tozeur
stood
at
approximately
150
people
.
Though
they
were
mostly
left
unharmed
during
World
War
II.
The
economic
conditions
led
many
families
to
immigrate
to
Israel.
While
there
are
no
longer
Jews
in
the
area,
their
presence
lives
on
in
the
remains
that
they
left
behind.
