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

Hosted By: Qesher

Qesher presents a session on the Jewish community in Egypt, tracing its presence from the time of the Bible through its Golden Age between roughly 1870 and the Suez Crisis in 1956. The talk examines how the tides changed for the community with the growth of Egyptian nationalism and the establishment of modern Israel. The session closes with a look at the reality today, including the Jews, synagogues, and cemeteries that remain and current efforts to preserve this 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.
