[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Muslim artist in Tunisia paints Jews - respectfully

Al Jazeera has an article about Tahir Mamith, a Tunisian Muslim artists who specializes in painting Jews.

There are several thousand Jews remaining in Tunisia.

He specializes in paintings of Jews who are doing religious rites. A collection of his paintings were on exhibit in the Djerba synagogue that was the focus of the annual Lag B'Omer pilgrimage.

The turnout at this year's festival seems to have been much lower than last year, with the crowd being described in most articles as in the hundreds, as opposed to over two thousand last year.

Part of that may have been because of Israel's warnings of a potential for a terror attack during the event.
