As we approach Passover, the festival which marks the exodus of the Jews from Egypt and celebrates their freedom, three Jews talk about their personal exodus from Arab countries – Lisette Stalbow, forced to flee from Egypt in 1956, David Gerbi, who fled from Libya in 1967, and Nadia, who left Iraq in 1951.

 Ciara Shalome has chosen to showcase their modern-day exodus stories on her Instagram page: ‘The Mizrahi Story’. She posts videos and interviews of Jewish people who once lived in the Middle East and North Africa to her 60+ thousand followers. Her goals  are to educate people about the story of Mizrahi Jews, find points of connection rather than points of resistance between Jews and Arabs, and allow Jewish people  to tell their own stories – rather than letting others do it for them.
