Book Description | "Haim Effendi had a relationship with King Farouk and all the men of the royal palace and a number of Egyptian politicians from all parties. He was opposed to Zionism and its project, but in the end the man was biased towards his people. If a Jewish state was about to be established in Palestine, the rabbi had no choice but to support it." Muhammad Hassanein Heikal "How can a person be a loyal citizen to the country of his birth while being a loyal citizen to the Jewish national homeland?!!" Albert Mosseri Between Heikal's opinion and Mosseri's denunciation, the questions in this book revolve around the true intentions of Nahum Effendi, the last rabbi of Egyptian Jews, who assumed his position (1925-1960) during a critical historical period during which Zionism dug its claws to make Egypt a gateway for Jews to cross to the alleged Promised Land. It is a research journey between the Adly Temple and the Garden City neighborhood, where the rabbi resided, the Arabic Language Academy of which he was a member, and the papers of Jewish newspapers published in Egypt. |
