How Egypt's last Jews will mark Hanukkah, and make sure their culture doesn't "disappear" with them
CBSN
Cairo — More than 10 million people live in Egypt's capital, but only three of them — all older women — are Egyptian Jews. At 70, Magda Haroun is the youngest, and the leader of Cairo's now virtually extinct native Jewish community.
"Usually, the head of the Jewish community is a rabbi, but there hasn't been one since the '60s," Haroun told CBS News on a visit to one of downtown Cairo's empty synagogues.
There are a total of 12 Jewish houses of worship across the capital — that's four for each remaining Jewish resident.
