WELCOME TO WCJE

With the collaboration of the world wide various Organizations of "Jews from Egypt", it was decided to approach institutions and organizations, in Israel and abroad, to enlist their support (including financial), for the realization of a successful and fruitful "World Congress of the Jews from Egypt" (May 9-12, 2006, in Haifa).  One of the principal aims of this important Congress, as President Ada Aharoni expressed it, is: "To enrich the general 'Jewish Heritage Tree' with a fresh, rich "Jews from Egypt" cultural branch full of new sprouts and green leaves."  All 20 members of the "International Advisory Committee,", representing the various world organizations, are called upon to take part in the future WCJE Congress which will take place at Haifa University, in November 2009.

We are the "Last Mohicans" of the Jews from Egypt, who can save our ancient and wonderful heritage from dwindling and disappearing, and this World Congress again will be a corner stone toward this aim. It will also provide the opportunity to present our experience of co-existence and harmony with our Arab neighbors in Egypt (prior to 1948), as an example toward the contribution of harmony in Israel and peace with its neighbors.
