Outstanding work!!!! I am so delighted to have this link on my “favorites” and I am sure I am going to spend lots and lots of time looking at it as more than half of my family and friends live in Cape Town!!!, mentioning some of them : cousins Moise, Marc Albeldas and families, Jacques Franco, Bello Israel and families specially my aunt Susan Franco (may she live 120 years in good health), Maurice and Lucie Soriano, Dr. Jacques Hasson (family), Claudine and Albert Franco and fam., Jojo Mallel and fam., aunt Sara Jerusalmi, Maurice Danon, Marc Dosetos, Samy Angel, Elsie Menashe and many many others! I die to visit all of them! I live in Cancun, Mexico and if my family and friends from Cape Town happen to come one day here to visit, I’ll be glad to receive them !con los brazos abiertos! Good Luck and Congratulation for your marvelous enterprise!!

“Food” page: My grandmother Sarina Capouya Rousso used to make all of these for us. I am the great grandaughter of Rabbi Jacob (Yacov) Capouya. It really is wonderful to see all of these great traditions through this website.

Very interesting the “folares”, my mother and grand mother used to prepare them every year if I remember around Easter .. The family “hold” as we say in Rhodian dialect, from the Paza, Picene, Roussos, Malachias and Barcado families.

I really feel at home here!! I thought all of the culture on my mother’s side of the family was lost to time. I do not really know where the family started but they follow the trail of many other families from the region.. My Grandfather, Alberto Behar married Jentil Behar traveled the world and ended up in California. I would like to gain much more information related to this part of my family and want to thank all of you for the outstanding job you are doing!

Simply fantastic! I came across this website after I decided to do a Holiday “cleaning” of my saved Favorites files. I was born into a Sefaradic home in Alexandria, Egypt. A delightful surprise awaited me when I discovered recipes, on your website, that my grandmother used to make such as boyos! Although my cooking is basically Sefaradi it has been greatly influenced by my growing up in France, living in Israel and of course in the US. I have always loved anything to do with Jewish History and this website is a wonderful gift! Thank you so much for keeping it open to other Jews. Chag sameach ve Shana Tova u mevorachat! Liliane
