Every year for the celebration of Lag Ba'Omer, Tunisian Jews -who emigrated in the twentieth century in Europe, North America and Israel- go in pilgrimage to the Ghriba synagogue in the island of Djerba. In addition to the religious dimension, this event is also a pilgrimage of memory. The peaceful "convivencia" with Muslims is valued, despite the attack of Al Qaeda in 2002. Today, the site is still frequented by some Muslim and remains one of the last cases of peaceful interaction between Jews and Muslims. It is a "shared holy place"
