ما شاء الله the scarf is just like my great grandmother's ❆
Wow ... to discover that the Ashkenazis reached Malaya in the 1800s. There is the grave of Rachamah Levi at the Penang Jewish Cemetery. [ref | web] That's a COHEN. The Levites were here. (m o m) I just noticed this days ago ... and then came Tisha B'Av ... ❆
OK I actually have read Ashkenazis were in Indonesia, as reported by Jacob Halevy Saphir (1822 – 1886). They were in Batavia (Jakarta), Surabaya and Semarang, and many married non Jewish women. I've wondered why Indonesia has citizens who look foreign. Were some of them have Ashkenazi ancestors who escaped Europe to Nusantara during the Holocaust, around the 1930s?
So much I actually trailed the Hamburg passengers list. (~ v ~)'
Anyway in Malaysia, some of those who look foreign have Turkish or Arab ancestry e.g. Asma Al Junid, REF Azah Al Sagoff REF and Zeti Akhtar. Arab merchants thrived in Singapore and welcomed by Istana Kampung Glam. REF REF I wonder if the Arabs met the Ashkenazis REF here ❆ Ben Yemen
