I came across this post while looking for other Jews in Jeddah. Do you know any that you could put me in contact with? I haven't even seen another Jew in 6 months. Thanks! -Paul Hersh Dear Lisa,

I am Jewish and living in Jeddah. I came across this post while looking for other Jews in Jeddah. Do you know any that you could put me in contact with? I haven’t even seen another Jew in 6 months. Thanks!

There are NO Arab special education schools in Jaffa. So the kid, who has a hard time learning how to read and write in the first place, doesn't know how to read nor write Arabic. In addition, he's taught all about Jewish festivals but nothing about his own culture. In any case, i have been appointed as the family's assistant for Jewish holidays homework, which he has to do. As a result, together with him, i learn more and more :) Ali, my friend Latifa’s son, goes to a special education school in Tel Aviv. There are NO Arab special education schools in Jaffa.

He told me that the Saud family which rules Saudi Arabia are actually Jews, which sounded very Bin Ladenesque. Could the Saudis be drawn to matzah because they accept the libel that you have to spill Christian blood to make them?
