Title	Traditional garbed Moroccan Jewish woman from the Atlas Mountain Village of Rissani
Reference Code	NY_16805
Description	The rich headdress and jewelry worn by this Jewish woman is typical of the exotic costumes of Jews living in the primitive hill villages of Morocco's Atlas Mountains. But hunger, poverty and disease also stalk these ancient communities. The Joint Distribution Committee - through feeding, medical and economic aid progress - has launched an intensive campaign to give a decent chance in life to the young generation of North African Jews. JDC receives its funds in the U.S. through the United Jewish Appeal.
