Jem (Alevism)

Jem (Alevism)

The central Alevi worship service is called a Jem (Turkish: "Cem" or "ayini Jem", meaning congregational or assembly meeting). Alevis prefer to believe that the Jem has its roots in an original worship and teaching meeting of forty spiritual individuals "Kirklar Majlisi" (Turkish: "Kırklar Meclisi") led by Ali. It takes place in a "Cem Evi"
