Top of the Hill

I am running the re-scheduled trip to The British Museum on Wednesday 1 July and hoping that this will be third time lucky as on the last two occasions I have had to cancel due to tube strikes!  Here are details:-

Wednesday 1 July

Guided tour of the Egyptian artefacts at the British Museum.

1.30pm for a 2.00pm start at the British Museum, Great Russell Street, WC1B 3DG.

Alec Nacamuli, a volunteer guide at the British Museum, will be leading this tour for us.

Many of you may remember the very successful talk that Alec gave to TotH in February 2024 entitled “The Jews from Egypt: Exodus to Exodus.”

Alec was born in Alexandria, which he left in 1956 following the Suez crisis.  He is a retired IT executive.  He co-founded the Association Internationale Nebi Daniel dedicated to the preservation of the Jewish religious and cultural heritage in Egypt, which organised a trip for 180 people in February 2020 to rededicate the Eliahu Hanavi synagogue in Alexandria and hold Shabbat services following restoration by the Ministry of Antiquities.

He is chair of Sephardi Voices UK, an oral history project recording testimonies of Jews born in the Middle East, North Africa and Iran who resettled in the UK.

Cost: £12

As the two  previous outings to the museum had to be cancelled due to tube strike and we are now into the holiday season, I am left with a few places.

Please let me know if you wish to come by emailing me at jandmgoodman2025@gmail.com

Best wishes
