History of the Jews in Africa

Jewish communities of Continental Africa include: Maghrebi Jews, Sephardic Jews and Mizrahi Jews who predominantly live in the Maghreb of North Africa, including Moroccan Jews, Algerian Jews, Tunisian Jews, and Libyan Jews. Historically, smaller Sephardic communities also lived in Egypt. Some of them were established in North Africa before the Roman period; other communities were established after the expulsion of Jews from Iberia in the late 15th century.
