Surrounded by a warm community of friends, family, and craftspeople—both Jewish and Muslim—Rachelle spends her days playing with other young girls in her neighbourhood, trying on her grandmother's amulets, playing jokes on a nosy photographer, and watching her parents as they spin delicate threads made of gold at their jewellery workshop each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLife in Rachelle's neighbourhood, the \u003cem\u003emellah\u003c\/em\u003e, is busy, nourishing, and filled with magic.
