Sorry I did not get around to the post about Ashkenazim of Sefardi heritage – hope to do it on Thursday if not next Sunday.
Wasn’t there a huge wave of Jews from Egypt in 1956 when Nasser YMS took over? Most Egyptian Jews are from Halab or from other parts of the Ottoman Empire originally. Cairo and Alexandria were very welcoming places for Jews and foreigners until Arab nationalism took over.
