Ma’alla Cemetery in Aden
Located at the foot of an ancient volcano, the Ma’alla Street cemetery is the most modern of Aden’s (عدن ,עדן) four Jewish cemeteries. Located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, the cemetery’s graves face north toward Jerusalem – an unusual orientation as most Jewish cemeteries in the world face east or west towards Jerusalem. Featuring hundreds of tombs in all shapes and sizes – some with gold inscription plates – the cemetery served the community from 1860 until Aden’s last Jews were evacuated by the British in 1967. With no new burials in over four decades, the Ma’alla Street cemetery stands as a silent testament to a once vibrant Jewish community at the southern tip of Arabia – one with roots going back over 2,000 years. In recent years the cemetery appears to have been repeatedly vandalized.

Jewish Majorca’s Special: Jamaica Independence Day
Jewish Majorca was born as a project to learn about the taboo topic of Jewish, Converso and Chueta heritage of the island.
We are a group of diverse and passionate history buffs – some originally from the island and other “foreigners” who now call Majorca home. Though we come from different backgrounds, some Jewish and some non, we all share the same idea:
that we can fight ignorance and intolerance through learning about the past.
We believe there is a need to share the unknown stories about the Mallorquin Jews and their inspiring resistance and perseverance through traumatic times.
Our intention is not to be just another guided tour but to create a space where we can learn together, share and connect our personal stories all while participating in an experience of continuous discovery.
