The Jews of Egypt: From the Bible to the Golden Age and the Abraham Accords

Hosted By: Qesher

The Jewish Community in Egypt is as old as the Jewish tradition itself. Join this event to follow the Jewish presence from the time of the Bible through until its Golden Age, from around 1870 until the Suez Crisis in 1956. See how the tides changed for the community with the growth of Egyptian nationalism and the establishment of modern Israel. The tour will end with taking a look at the reality today, at the Jews, the synagogues and cemeteries that remain, and what efforts are being made to preserve this important part of Jewish and Egyptian history.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
