Egypt Restores Its Historic Synagogues
"Egypt will shoulder the costs of restoring the country's Jewish houses of worship, said the culture minister Tuesday, two days after a historic synagogue in Cairo's ancient Jewish quarter was rededicated … [The] ministry views Jewish sites as much a part of Egypt's culture as Muslim mosques or Coptic churches, and the restorations would not require any foreign funding."
