This week, I speak to Egyptian-Jewish and Filipina author Sarah Dayan Mueller about her latest book “Home In A Hundred Places.” The book tells the story of her father, who spied for Israel while in Egypt in the 1940s and early 50s, and is also a larger tale about building family and preserving Jewish memory.Say hello!

Alain Gresh, a French journalist, was the editor of Le Monde Diplomatique and is now the director of Orient XXI, an online journal about Middle East affairs. Gresh's writing on Israel-Palestine and on the battles over Islam and secularism have made him one of the most important voices on the left in France. Born in Cairo in 1948, Gresh learned in his late 20s that a man he knew in Paris as a family friend, the Egyptian-Jewish revolutionary exile Henri Curiel, was his biological father. In 1978, Curiel was assassinated in his apartment building – a crime that remains unresolved to this day. In our conversation, Gresh talked to me about his trajectory as a radical commentator on the Middle East, his upbringing in Egypt on the eve of decolonization, his relationship to Curiel, and his ongoing search for the truth about Curiel's murder.Henri Curiel, citizen of the third world - Le Monde diplomatiqueWhen Palestine captured a generation's dreams - Le Monde diplomatiqueFrench Law on Separation of Church and State - Orient XXIPLO: The Struggle WithinAnouar Brahem - Blue Maqams
Vanessa R. Sasson doesn't let academic life or cultural ideologies define her. How could she when most of her life she's been caught between worlds? Born and raised in Montreal in an Egyptian Jewish household, Vanessa's upbringing often left her feeling like an outsider. During the week she went to an Ashkenazi (European) Jewish school, but on the weekends, she lived her Egyptian heritage, wrapped up in its nostalgia and rosewater scented desserts. Vanessa's desire to speak her truth and embrace the imperfect human experience has bled into her academic life and inspired a work of creative fiction, her new novel, Yasodhara and the Buddha. In today's episode Vanessa shares what brings her joy, storytelling. She's been enamored with stories her entire life and when Vanessa first started as an academic she thought to be a good scholar meant she had to look at stories and study them, analyze them, take them apart and reconstruct them in order to see what clues she could find underneath. When she was studying the story of the Buddha's wife, it changed everything for her. Through this experience Vanessa began to realize that knowledge doesn't have to fit into a particular box, and there isn't a dividing line between scholarship and creativity.

In 2015, our producer Nadeen Shaker visited the Cairo Genizah in one of Egypt’s oldest synagogues. It was the place where, thousands of years ago, the Jews of Egypt literally stored any papers with God’s name on them instead of throwing them away. After a prominent Egyptian Jew, Jacques Mosseri, discovered the Genizah manuscripts almost a century ago, and his untimely death afterwards, the manuscripts disappeared from view for decades. When they were finally rediscovered, the question of where the collection of manuscripts would eventually go – Egypt, Israel, or the UK – became a thorny and still unanswered debate. Today on Kerning Cultures, the story of the Genizah manuscripts and the question of where Egyptian Jewish history should be kept.

Reuven and Esther Guttman of Long Island arrived in Egypt for what they expected to be a routine vacation. But when the border guards ran Esther's passport, which had her maiden name, Maimon, on it, they discovered that she was a descendent of Maimonides (1135-1204), the revered rabbinic head of the Egyptian Jewish community in the 12th century, and personal physician of the first sultan of Egypt. In this podcast, they describe how they were given the royal treatment by the Egyptian government as, for the first time in centuries, a family member of the revered Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon had set foot on Egyptian ground.
The Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides (often referred to by his Hebrew acronym, RaMBaM) has come to be seen as the intellectual leader of the rationalist approach to Jewish tradition. However, his writings attracted fierce opposition from the Egyptian Jewish community of his day, which was deeply influenced by the mystical approaches of its Muslim neighbours. In this episode, Gavin and Jordan discuss documents from the Cairo Geniza, including a chance finding of a letter from a close associate of the RaMBaM that provides a window onto the controversies around his philosophical ideas.

Liat Maggid-Alon, a historian of the modern Middle East at Kibbutzim College and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, discusses a paper she recently presented at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, focusing on the newly emerged stratum of upper-middle-class Jews in early-to-mid 20th century Egypt. The Egyptian-Jewish bourgeoisie serves as an ideal case study to explore how modernity, religion, nationalism and minority politics intermingled.

The novelist Ronit Matalon has a new novel published just months ago in English translation, The Sound of Our Steps. Host Marcela Sulak reads an extract from the novel, in which the narrator recalls the nightly ritual of hearing her mother's steps leading up to her dramatic entrance to the house: "What did she put on her feet back then, which shoes, or to be more precise, how did she prepare for battle, how, with what? That sense of purpose she had, to the last detail, the sacred air of purpose, how she loved what was useful, necessary." To find out more about Matalon, born in Israel in 1959 to a family of Egyptian-Jewish descent, listen to The One Facing Us: Ronit Matalon’s family album, recorded in November 2015.

Ronit Matalon’s first novel to be translated into English is organized around 17 snapshots from an imaginary photo album. This kaleidoscopic family mosaic chronicles the disintegration of an Egyptian-Jewish clan after WWII, when its members are dispersed from Cairo to Israel, New York, and Cameroon. Host Marcela Sulak reads from the following passage: "Photograph: Left to right: Grandpapa Jacquo and Uncle Sicourelle, Cairo Train Station, 1946. That’s Grandpapa Jacquo, to the left of the uncle: Tall, slightly stooped, smirking like the best man at a wedding." Ronit Matalon was born in Ganei Tikva, Israel, the daughter of Egyptian-Jewish immigrants. She covered Gaza and the West Bank for Haaretz newspaper between 1987 and 1993. She lives in Tel Aviv and teaches literature at the University of Haifa. She has published 8 novels in Hebrew, two of which are translated into English.

PODCAST SATELLITE / The Voice of IsraelWWW.PODCASTSATELLITE.COMwith Prince Handley SECRET ISRAELI HIGHWAY BETWEEN EGYPT & SYRIA Click the center of the pod circle ... give it 30 seconds to load.Listen now ... or download for later.DESCRIPTION:An Israeli highway will be built for Jews connecting Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. A war between Israel and probably ALL of the Middle East will happen, not just bordering Arab states like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan: the Palestinians, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and others. In the previous podcast I showed you WHY this takes place. In this podcast I will show you HOW. Also, information on the NEW super highway that will be constructed.SECRET ISRAELI HIGHWAY BETWEEN EGYPT & SYRIAIn the last teaching we studied Isaiah Chapter 11, verses 12-16. We read a description of a war that will happen BEFORE Messiah comes to earth again (the second time). The first 11 verses tell us about Messiah's return and his rule of peace on earth. Verses 12-16 cannot happen during this time because Messiah's reign is characterized by peace. Another distinctive feature of the prophecy in verses 12-16 is that the war therein described has not happened historically.A war between Israel and probably ALL of the Middle East will happen, not just bordering Arab states like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Israel will "fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines (the Palestinians) to the west". In context Israel will strike against Egypt and Iraq (Assyria) and "plunder the people of the East." Israel will control these nations, and evidently, their wealth as a result of the plundering. Lexicographically, the "people of the East" include the Arab nations of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and others.It is very evident here (in this passage) that Israel will control the East Bank of Jordan (Ammon, Moab, and Edom). This happened in Joshua's time and has NOT happened SINCE the days of Isaiah. This is a future prophecy that WILL happen!You might wonder how this will happen. Israel could not even control Lebanon in recent years and finally pulled their military presence from their neighbor to the north. How can Israel control SEVERAL Arab / Moslem nations with 80 million Arabs against them? The answer is: Jehovah-Nissi: the LORD our Banner! It will be a supernatural conquest like when Israel came up out of Egypt from the bondage of Pharaoh!Yes, if you and I are "believers" then we BELIEVE in these things. We believe in G-d, and we believe His Holy Word … we believe His prophecies in the Tanach, the Old Testament. G-d is NOT some old man in a rocking chair. He is eternally young and powerful, full of love … and just in all His works! The G-d of Israel is the Protector and Warrior of Israel. To fight against Israel is to fight against God.Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Deborah, and David … for whom God fought … are all witnesses of His delivering power over the nations and over any people who would try to subdue, oppress, and resist Jacob's seed line: Israel.Look at Isaiah 11:15-16. Verse 15 says: "The Lord will utterly destroy (dry up) the tongue of the Sea of Egypt (that is, He will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian Sea)." "With His mighty (scorching) wind He will shake His fist over the (Euphrates) River. He will strike it, (or, break it up) in the seven streams. And make men cross over dry-shod (or, in sandals)."God will cause to happen (super) natural happenings in Egypt AND Assyria (the confines of present day Syria and Iraq). These happenings will be so evidently "acts of G-d" … divinely planned and implemented … that the Arab / Moslem nations, and their individual inhabitants, will be cognizant of the fact that an assault against Israel is not just a military assault, but a "spiritual" opposition … and that against God!The Arab / Moslem nations and people will be aware and know that THE G-D is the G-d of Israel and NOT a false god named "Allah." Isaiah tells us in verse 16 (of Chapter 11): "There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who will be left from Assyria (Iraq and Syria) as it was for Israel in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt (under Moses)."What does this "highway" mean? What purpose does it fulfill in prophecy … or in end times fulfillment? The word in Hebrew is "m'cillah" which means a "thoroughfare".Are there that many Jews living in these areas? Let's investigate some of these countries or geographic areas.IRAQ - At one time, Baghdad, Iraq, was one-fifth Jewish. Other communities had first been established 2,500 years ago. Today, approximately 38 Jews live in Baghdad, and a handful more in the Kurdish-controlled northern parts of Iraq. [1]SYRIA - By the middle of 2001, Rabbi Huder Shahada Kabariti estimated that 150 Jews were living in Damascus, 30 in Haleb and 20 in Kamashili. Every two or three months, a rabbi visits from Istanbul, Turkey, to oversee preparation of kosher meat, which residents freeze and use until his next visit. Two synagogues remain open in Damascus.Although Jews are occasionally subjected to violence by Palestinian protesters in Syria, the government has taken strict protective measures, including arresting assailants and guarding the remaining synagogues. [2]According to the State Department, Jews still have a separate primary school for religious instruction on Judaism and are allowed to teach Hebrew in some schools. About a dozen students still attend the Jewish school, which had 500 students as recently as 1992. Jews and Kurds are the only minorities not allowed to participate in the political system. In addition, "the few remaining Jews are generally barred from government employment and do not have military service obligations. They are the only minority whose passports and identity cards note their religion." [2]EGYPT - Egyptian Jews began leaving their homes after Israel was established as a nation in 1948. Between 1948 and 1956, more than 30,000 Jews left Egypt. About 20,000 moved across the border to Israel and another 10,000 embarked to farther destinations in North America, South America and Europe. The rest of the community left in the late fifties and early sixties, continuing the pattern of immigration to Europe, North America and Israel. [3]Today, the Egyptian Jewish community numbers in the hundreds, estimated by an American student to be mostly old women in Cairo and Alexandria. He states, "The Rosh Hashanah service I went to had no more than twenty "real" Egyptian Jews in attendance. The remainder was made up of American and Israeli diplomats, travelers, business executives, and foreign students from the American University of Cairo." [3]ETHIOPIA - Operation Solomon, named for the king from whom one of the theories suggest that the Beta Israel draw their lineage, ended almost as quickly as it began. Timing was crucial, since any delay by Israel could have allowed the rebels to hold the Jews as bargaining chips with Israel or the United States. A total of 14,324 Ethiopian Jews were rescued and resettled in Israel, a modern exodus of the grandest design.Operation Solomon rescued twice the number of Jews in Operation Moses and Joshua, in a mere fraction of the time. Though it is too early to predict their impact on Israeli society, the 36,000 Ethiopian Jews now living in Israel (rescue efforts are under way to transport the remaining 2,100 Ethiopians who wish to emigrate to Israel) will play an important role in Israel for generations to come. [4]Why would God cause a supernatural event just for a FEW people???Let's look at this passage again. "There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who will be left from Assyria (Iraq and Syria) as it was for Israel in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt (under Moses)." Let me suggest that this could mean ANY or ALL of the following: A. G-d may make a way for even ONE of the children of Israel (the "remnant"). Look at Daniel in the lion's den … and the three Hebrew children. B. G-d is going to make a "highway of deliverance" for all Jews and, also, Messianic believers (real Christians) from the Arab / Islamic nations described above. C. Arab nations will realize their defeat is from YHWH and many Arab / Islamic will become Messianic believers in Yeshua, G-d's Messiah for all nations. D. There may be many more Jews in these areas than we know about. Many of them, themselves, may NOT realize they are children of Israel. [5] E. Impossible as it may seem, Israel's present occupation MAY NOT be the FINAL regathering. Jews may once again, either partially or wholly, be dispossessed from the Promised Land until the time of the FINAL regathering. Note: there is nothing in the Tenach to guarantee that THIS is THE TIME of the final regathering, although many prophecies point to it. I believe we are seeing the FINAL regathering. However, we know there WILL BE a final regathering if this is not the time. “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles that are called by My Name,” says YHWH who does this thing. (Amos 9:11-15)The G-d of Israel is a G-d of power who loves mankind and wants to redeem them. What a beautiful project: the construction, through a supernatural MIRACLE, of a "thoroughfare" for the remnant of His people. "In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria (Iraq and Syria). The Assyrians (Iraq and Syria) will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third. Along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, 'Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance'." (Isaiah 19:23-25)In our next podcast we will discuss further aspects leading up to Israel's ascendancy into international prominence. Also, HOW G-D will draw Russia and Iran into battle with Israel ... and WHAT G-D uses to defeat them.Many people, some scholars (or so-called scholars), confuse the Battle of Armageddon with the battle(s) described in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. Some wrongfully associate these battles as the same. They are NOT the same battles and it is simple to discern. Listen next time! And ... remind your friends to listen.In the meantime, read and study the Tanach. Know where you’re at ... Know where you’re going ... Know what’s happening today ... Know what’s happening in the future!Bar’khoo et adonai hamvorakh!Your friend,Prince HandleyFOOTNOTES: BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES USED IN THIS PODCAST[1].

Today, approximately 38 Jews live in Baghdad, and a handful more in the Kurdish-controlled northern parts of Iraq. [1]SYRIA - By the middle of 2001, Rabbi Huder Shahada Kabariti estimated that 150 Jews were living in Damascus, 30 in Haleb and 20 in Kamashili. Every two or three months, a rabbi visits from Istanbul, Turkey, to oversee preparation of kosher meat, which residents freeze and use until his next visit. Two synagogues remain open in Damascus.Although Jews are occasionally subjected to violence by Palestinian protesters in Syria, the government has taken strict protective measures, including arresting assailants and guarding the remaining synagogues. [2]According to the State Department, Jews still have a separate primary school for religious instruction on Judaism and are allowed to teach Hebrew in some schools. About a dozen students still attend the Jewish school, which had 500 students as recently as 1992. Jews and Kurds are the only minorities not allowed to participate in the political system. In addition, "the few remaining Jews are generally barred from government employment and do not have military service obligations. They are the only minority whose passports and identity cards note their religion." [2]EGYPT - Egyptian Jews began leaving their homes after Israel was established as a nation in 1948. Between 1948 and 1956, more than 30,000 Jews left Egypt. About 20,000 moved across the border to Israel and another 10,000 embarked to farther destinations in North America, South America and Europe. The rest of the community left in the late fifties and early sixties, continuing the pattern of immigration to Europe, North America and Israel. [3]Today, the Egyptian Jewish community numbers in the hundreds, estimated by an American student to be mostly old women in Cairo and Alexandria. He states, "The Rosh Hashanah service I went to had no more than twenty "real" Egyptian Jews in attendance. The remainder was made up of American and Israeli diplomats, travelers, business executives, and foreign students from the American University of Cairo." [3]ETHIOPIA - Operation Solomon, named for the king from whom one of the theories suggest that the Beta Israel draw their lineage, ended almost as quickly as it began. Timing was crucial, since any delay by Israel could have allowed the rebels to hold the Jews as bargaining chips with Israel or the United States. A total of 14,324 Ethiopian Jews were rescued and resettled in Israel, a modern exodus of the grandest design.Operation Solomon rescued twice the number of Jews in Operation Moses and Joshua, in a mere fraction of the time. Though it is too early to predict their impact on Israeli society, the 36,000 Ethiopian Jews now living in Israel (rescue efforts are under way to transport the remaining 2,100 Ethiopians who wish to emigrate to Israel) will play an important role in Israel for generations to come. [4]Why would God cause a supernatural event just for a FEW people???Let's look at this passage again. "There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who will be left from Assyria (Iraq and Syria) as it was for Israel in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt (under Moses)." Let me suggest that this could mean ANY or ALL of the following: A. G-d may make a way for even ONE of the children of Israel (the "remnant"). Look at Daniel in the lion's den … and the three Hebrew children. B. G-d is going to make a "highway of deliverance" for all Jews and, also, Messianic believers (real Christians) from the Arab / Islamic nations described above. C. Arab nations will realize their defeat is from YHWH and many Arab / Islamic will become Messianic believers in Yeshua, G-d's Messiah for all nations. D. There may be many more Jews in these areas than we know about. Many of them, themselves, may NOT realize they are children of Israel. [5] E. Impossible as it may seem, Israel's present occupation MAY NOT be the FINAL regathering. Jews may once again, either partially or wholly, be dispossessed from the Promised Land until the time of the FINAL regathering. Note: there is nothing in the Tenach to guarantee that THIS is THE TIME of the final regathering, although many prophecies point to it. I believe we are seeing the FINAL regathering. However, we know there WILL BE a final regathering if this is not the time. “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles that are called by My Name,” says YHWH who does this thing. (Amos 9:11-15)The G-d of Israel is a G-d of power who loves mankind and wants to redeem them. What a beautiful project: the construction, through a supernatural MIRACLE, of a "thoroughfare" for the remnant of His people. "In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria (Iraq and Syria). The Assyrians (Iraq and Syria) will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third. Along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, 'Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance'." (Isaiah 19:23-25)In our next podcast we will discuss further aspects leading up to Israel's ascendancy into international prominence. Also, HOW G-D will draw Russia and Iran into battle with Israel ... and WHAT G-D uses to defeat them.Many people, some scholars (or so-called scholars), confuse the Battle of Armageddon with the battle(s) described in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. Some wrongfully associate these battles as the same. They are NOT the same battles and it is simple to discern. Listen next time! And ... remind your friends to listen.In the meantime, read and study the Tanach. Know where you’re at ... Know where you’re going ... Know what’s happening today ... Know what’s happening in the future!Bar’khoo et adonai hamvorakh!Your friend,Prince HandleyFOOTNOTES: BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES USED IN THIS PODCAST[1].
