Jewish exodus from the Muslim world

Okay, so a long time ago, in places like Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Iraq, there were a bunch of Jewish people living there. They were just like your family and friends, but they had a different religion and different customs. They went to different schools and synagogues, and some had different types of food they liked to eat.

But then something really sad happened. Some of the leaders of these countries decided they didn't want the Jewish people living there anymore. They made rules and laws that made it really hard for Jewish people to live their lives. They couldn't go to the same schools or get the same jobs as other people. They were treated unfairly and sometimes even hurt.

So, many Jewish people had to leave their homes and everything they knew behind. They had to go to new countries to start over, where they could have a better life. This was called the Jewish exodus from the Muslim world. It was a really hard time for the Jewish people, but many of them were able to find new homes and make new friends.
