    How many Jews are now living in the areas once served by these synagogues? Are they being refurbished to serve the Jews or as memorials to those forced out after 1948. I had cousins whose families lived in Cairo for centuries and who are now either in Israel or the US. How many other Jews were forced to leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs?
