MB-dominated govt shuts down the last synagogue in Egypt

For the first time in 2,000 years, this year there will be no Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services at the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria.

The synagogue was the last working synagogue in Egypt. The Egyptian authorities have banned High Holiday services for security reasons.

Levana Zamir, who heads the International Association of Egyptian Jews in Israel, comments: 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.
