Compensation
for Jews from Arab countries
I do want to call your attention, Naim, to

as Co-Chairman of WOJAC, I approved the decision that was
published and sent to the Foreign Ministry of Israel. more

The
Israel Museum, Jerusalem
Two weeks ago, I met Zvi Gabay at the opening
of an exhibition in Jerusalem. He told me about the journal
on Babylonian Jewry The Scribe published by The Exilarch’s
Foundation. I was truly happy and moved to get the latest
issue of this journal which evoked fond memories of my childhood
in Iraq which I left in 1942 and never went back. more
Media
Bias Against Israel

the New York Times and almost all the French and the British
media are towards Israel. It has been a longstanding fact
of life, and we have almost become accustomed to it. more
From
Naim Mahlab
Going through my papers, I found a visa issued
to my father in 1929 by the U.S. Consul in Baghdad. What intrigues
me is how he managed to make the trip from Beirut to New York
with no language skills other than Arabic. more

Search of Roots

dialogue with you. I work with Dr Sidney Davis in a ministry
where we are researching our Hebrew roots in Africa. more

Babylonian Exilarchs
I am interested in the genealogy of the medieval
Jewish Exilarchs and their descendants. more
From
the Israeli Ambassador
Dear Mr Dangoor, I would like to thank you
most sincerely for sending me a copy of The Scribe. The issues
raised in the Journal of Babylonian Jewry present an important
insight into Diaspora and indeed Israeli life. more
