Egypt to repair synagogue in city of eight Jews
The Egyptian government is set to repair the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria, a city believed to house fewer than eight Jews. Built in 1354, the synagogue fell into disrepair after Jews left Egypt for Israel in the 20th century. Egypt, believed to house less than 50 Jews, is refurbishing eight monuments as part of a â¹460 crore project.
