CAIRO — A new Egyptian TV series premiered at the beginning of Ramadan — “Harat al-Yahud” (Arabic for "The Jewish Quarter") starring Jordanian actor Iyad Nassar and Egyptian actress Mona Shebli. "The Jewish Quarter" is a Jewish-populated residential area in Cairo, where Jews, Muslims and Christians have been living since 1848.
Before the series aired, Israeli media seemed positive about it. The Times of Israel praised the series in its June 5 article, “'The Jewish Quarter,' a new Egyptian series for Ramadan, shedding a positive light on the Jewish community.”
