Dear Ms Carmen Weinstein,
We have just returned safely home after a most memorable two weeks visit of Egypt. We sincerely enjoyed meeting you and highly appreciated your taking the time out of your busy schedule to provide the seven of us a very pleasant and informative tour of the Ismaeleya Temple.
In the course of our stay in Cairo we also went past the Abraham B'tesh Temple in Heliopolis. We
did visit the beautiful Ben Ezra synaguogue which we think is a gem.
Your sincere commitment to the welfare of the tiny community of Jewish men and women who remain in Egypt was very evident and greatly appreciated. You may count on my, and my family's, continued support. For the sake of good order, we shall direct our support through the Seattle Federation. In the near future I will prepare a small article detailing what this Egyptian born American saw and heard. I will include a copy of our group picture taken at the Temple.
I sincerely hope that, in the near future, others will also want to come back and revisit Egypt as well. I hope that this message will find you and Mrs. Esther Weinstein in good health. We thank you again and take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season.With best personal regards,
Leon & Helen Wahba
