I just bought a book on the street here in Cairo. On the cover is a picture of an old, white-bearded Jew with tallis and tefillin. Surrounding him are various planets. Not sure what that means, but my guess is that the title is something to the effect of,
THE FILTHY JEW: HOW HIS GODLESS EVIL
CONTROLS THE PLANETS (and you)
Other fine publications featured images of the Star of David and a bullet and some blood, or a Star of David in a bullseye being shot by an arrow or a Statue of Liberty holding a Star of David-topped torch. I told the merchant that i was CANADIAN-- then we gave the thumbs down to the US and the Jews (Yahud). Fun.
Tomorrow Shabbat with some the few remaining Jews of Cairo. Sunday, the Pyramids.
Hope you're all well. Miss you guys.

How was the party?
Stu, glad your time with Queen Esta went well and you are doing well. Take care of yourself when you return as you now border the new state of Hamasstan. Looks like you picked up a local copy of the Elders of Zion!!
what is the rainbow healing retreat? before you go there, you must climb mt. sinai (or atleast what is thought to be mt. sinai, where st. catherina's monastary is). spend the night on top and wait for the sunrise. after that, davening to HaShem will never be the same...
i never made it to cairo. i planned a trip at least 3 times, and something always prevented me from going. good for you that you made it to mainland egypt. shabbat in cairo! awe-some.
you will be the rabbi our generation so desperately needs...
peace and blessings on your journey in the desert...
