My grandfather was the cantor at the Ashkenazi synagogue in Ataba for many years.

He passed away in 1961. We left Cairo for the US shortly after that.

The Synagogue of Nabi Daniel in Alexandria is a very beautiful building too.. There is no problem taking photos there...no guards will say anything

What is this song called ?

[fitac]

As the last slide indicates it is called "Shalom Alekhem". "Peace be on You". it is based on a prayer generally sung at the end of Friday night service. Keep well

This is truly amazing to see something like this, that my own Grandfather had his Bar mitzvah at this place of worship.
