Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Thursday opened Ben Ezra Synagogue, the oldest Jewish temple in the country after undergoing restoration work, Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a statement. The ministry said the synagogue, named after Jewish scholar and philosopher Abraham Ben Ezra, dates back to the 12th century and was rebuilt in the 1890s, adding the restoration is part of a national project for rehabilitating Historic Cairo. Once a hub for Jewish celebrations, gatherings, and prayers in Egypt, the temple has transformed into a tourist attraction after the majority of the Jewish community left in the 1950s.
