Jewish life in Egypt closed down due to “security” reasons.
For the first time in 2,000 years, there will be no Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services at the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria in 5773, reports Daniel Greenfield in “In The Point.”
This was the last active synagogue in Egypt. The Egyptian authorities’ excuse for the shut-down, effectively outlawing High Holiday services in the country, were “security” reasons.
Levana Zamir, head of the International Association of Egyptian Jews in Israel, said: “It seems this is really the end of Jewish life in Egypt. The authorities have found a way to take over the last Jewish bastion, since all the remaining synagogues are already archaeological and tourist sites. It is very sad.”
This is yet another example of the fact that Jewish life is becoming extinct in the Muslim world.
But their governance is awesome!
Egypt is a disaster waiting to happen.
Egypt is a disaster in progress.
So, here’s this and here’s this.
We live in interesting times.
PLO’s Ashrawi: No such thing as Jewish refugees
Frankly, I’m shocked! I didn’t realize there was a Jewish presence in Egypt to start with…
“We live in interesting times.”
We sat on our asses and let leftist idiots make our times far more interesting at least since Eisenhower left office.
It’s a good thing there isn’t a real opposition party trying to beat Obama in November. If there was and they really wanted to beat him they could probably be making his life miserable by running ads pointing out what a dunder headed idiot he is and how bad he has bolluxed up the Middle East.
If there is a God, and personally I believe there is, I expect he will not look kindly on what we’ve allowed to happen to and around Israel over the last 50 years.
