(en) Les Juifs troglodytes, aussi connus sous les noms de Juifs des montagnes, Juifs de Gharyan ou Djebalia, sont des Juifs s'étant établis dans le djebel Nefoussa en Libye et de manière plus diffuse dans les monts Matmata en Tunisie. Cet ensemble de communautés n'existe plus de nos jours. Leur nom provient de leur coutume partagée avec leurs voisins musulmans de vivre dans des habitations excavées dans la roche afin de se protéger des fortes chaleurs de la région. Leur habitat était composé de pièces organisées autour d'une cour creusée dans le sous-sol avec un toit se situant au niveau du sol ; elles étaient donc invisibles depuis la route. Plusieurs familles vivaient ensemble, des excavations séparées servant de cuisine, de fournil et de garde-manger ; l'une d'elles faisait office de synagogue. (fr) Gli ebrei trogloditi erano comunità ebraiche che vivevano in abitazioni scavate nella roccia. Si trovavano nel Gebel Nefusa, nella Libia nord-occidentale, e nelle montagne meridionali della Tunisia, in particolare a Matmata. Emigrarono in massa dalla regione alla fine degli anni 1940 e oggi non esistono più. La consuetudine di vivere in abitazioni scavate nella roccia per proteggersi dal caldo era condivisa con i vicini musulmani; le strutture erano costituite da stanze distribuite attorno a un cortile sotterraneo scavato con un tetto situato a livello del suolo; erano quindi nascoste alla strada. Diverse famiglie convivevano insieme, condividendo stanze scavate che fungevano da cucina e dispensa; le strutture troglodite includevano anche una sinagoga. (it)
