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, Jack 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.
