Upon retiring from a successful 40-year career with the Toronto Dominion Bank, she embarked on a project to trace Jewish families from Egypt living in Montreal. She succeeded in locating 500 families, representing over 3,000 individuals. This exciting journey inspired her to write an autobiographical account of the history of her family, No Return, and establish Montreal's first Association of Jews from Egypt. Join us as Irene discusses how Egypt, particularly Cairo and Alexandria, became a multicultural crossroads for the Jewish people. Irene herself is an excellent example of this; her father was Iraqi and her mother's family originated in Morocco. She left Egypt in 1966 and emigrated to Montreal. Through her own story, she documents the rich history and culture of the Jews of Egypt. Light refreshments will be served. $5 suggested donation at the door. This event is supported in part by the Sally & Irving Korobkin Educational Fund and the MDSC Social Planning Committee For more information please contact the office at 301-770-6818 Magen David Sephardic Congregation, 11215 Woodglen Drive, 301-770-6818, Rockville, MD 20852 SafeUnsubscribe™ g...@loc.gov<http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001cvo694EPfp3yeb7FKk44NQ%3D%3D&ch=fbaa8850-1d60-11e3-9abc-d4ae5275b3f6&ca=1060ef56-e7c5-47e3-a6cb-c73bfcc44410> Forward this email<http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=mk8kthcab&m=1101914271052&ea=gshi%40loc.gov&a=1124511865537> | Update Profile<http://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&m=001cvo694EPfp3yeb7FKk44NQ%3D%3D&ch=fbaa8850-1d60-11e3-9abc-d4ae5275b3f6&ca=1060ef56-e7c5-47e3-a6cb-c73bfcc44410> | About our service provider<http://www.constantcontact.com/legal/service-provider?cc=about-service-provider> Sent by and...@magendavidsephardic.org<mailto:and...@magendavidsephardic.org> in collaboration with [https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/ui/images1/ctct-logo.png]<http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=PT1130> Try it free today<http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=PT1130>
