VOICED : Egypt's last Jews aim to keep alive heritage

The video discusses the decline of Egypt's Jewish community, which once numbered between 80,000 and 120,000 but now has only 18 members. Magda, the president of Cairo's Jewish community, works to preserve their heritage. Many Jews left or were forced out after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. A 2013 documentary by Amir Ramsis highlights the community's struggles. The Egyptian government officially treats all heritage equally, but some synagogues need restoration. Despite being spared recent attacks, the Jewish community remains low-profile to preserve their heritage.
