HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF JEWS FROM EGYPT
Welcome to the Historical Society of Jews From Egypt web site. This site is designed to gather, and provide historical and current information on the Jews From Egypt, one of the most ancient established societies in the world. We will attempt to cover the period from Joseph Saadia el Fayoumi (Saadia Gaon) to the present day.
Documenting the history of the Jews From Egypt, requires the consideration of all its cultural countenance and aspects. These includes its institutions of education, arts, good will organizations, religious establishments, who's who, external and internal events leading to its atrophy and climaxing into a SECOND EXODUS, none should be overlooked.
This work is of an encyclopedic proportion and we need your active participation in this project so we can draw a balanced and legitimate account of this period.
We invite everyone to provide us with factual events, incidents, occurrences, family stories, affecting the Jews From Egypt so others may enhance their understanding and learn more of the Jews From Egypt. We will make every effort to provide you with as much material, and information as possible pertaining to the Jews From Egypt.
We will add new material as it becomes available. Please feel free and give us any suggestions you may have to make your stay with us more enjoyable. HSJE is staffed entirely by volunteers with a provisional charter from the Board of Regents of the State of New York.
