Jewish History of Egypt
In the summer of 2017, a Diarna research team to Egypt was granted unprecedented access to digitally document 13 synagogues as well as other Jewish historical sites. Most of these structures had been closed or otherwise off-limits, a status they held, in some cases, for decades. Follow in the footsteps of Diarna’s researchers as you explore this online exhibit of synagogues in Cairo and Alexandria, poignant reminders of Egypt’s enduring Jewish cultural heritage.
