cemevi
A cemevi is a place of worship and community gathering for the Alevi people, a religious and cultural group primarily found in Turkey and parts of the Middle East. Unlike traditional mosques, cemevis serve as centers for spiritual practices, social events, and cultural activities, emphasizing community and inclusivity.
In a cemevi, rituals such as the cem ceremony are held, which includes prayers, music, and communal meals. These gatherings foster a sense of belonging and reinforce the values of love, respect, and unity among participants, reflecting the core beliefs of the Alevi faith.
