Ezra Friedlander, the Liska einekel , is a genius on how to rip off goyim .....
Goes to Egypt to award a Congressional Gold Medal, (that he lobbied for) to the late Anwar Sadat, a murderer of Jews and a Holocaust denier, ....
then gets President Sisi of Egypt to allocate $71 million to fix up Shuls in Egypt, a country that has no Jews living there!!
What a genius.......!!!!
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said his government would build synagogues and provide services to the Jewish community if there is a resurgence of the community in his country, JTA reported on Monday.
Sisi made the statement last week during a meeting with a US delegation made up of the Anwar Sadat Congressional Gold Medal Commission, which successfully lobbied to grant the Congressional Gold Medal to the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.
President Donald Trump signed the bill to grant the highest civilian award bestowed by Congress in December.
The commission members were in Egypt to invite Sisi to attend the ceremony in the fall, when the medal will be presented to Jehan Sadat, the wife of the Egyptian leader who was assassinated in 1981.
The commission was founded and led by Ezra Friedlander, an Orthodox Jewish consultant and lobbyist from New York.
“President Sisi spoke fondly not only of Egypt’s past vibrant Jewish community, but also said that should there be a resurgence of the Jewish community in Egypt, the government will provide every religious necessity required,” Friedlander was quoted as having told The Jerusalem Post.
“He basically said that should there be a resurgence of the Jewish community, the government will build synagogues and other related services,” added Friedlander.
There were between 80,000 and 120,000 Jews in Egypt up until the mid-20th century, but the 1948 War of Independence led to the disintegration of the community, with many leaving Egypt or being forced out under the regime of then-president Gamal Abdel Nasser.
In 2017, the Egyptian government approved a $22 million plan to restore the 160-year-old Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria, which is the last active synagogue in the city but which had been forced to close after part of its ceiling fell down.
In December of 2018, Sisi announced he would allocate $71 million for the renovation of synagogues and Jewish heritage sites in the country.

Friedlander and his fellow travelers didn't get this, already months ago, long before they arrived in Cairo, Egypt promised to restore Jewish sites.

Let us not be taken for a ride like a group of naive fools here.
The guy is a fraudster, a scam artist.
He thinks that he could fool everyone with his phony PR manipulations.
Well, as the saying goes, you can fool some of the people, some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.
To understand more about the depth of this new scam by Friedlander, see the comments at http://matzav.com/photos-egypt-president-el-sisi-receiving-a-delegation-of-orthodox-jews-headed-by-ezra-friedlander-in-his-palace-in-cairo-promising-to-renovate-shuls-and-cemeteries/
Ezra should open up a Liska shtiebel in Cairo and name it after his cousin and fellow Liska con artist Rebbe Solomon Friedlander, featured recently at this site.
Ezra could then negotiate welfare benefits for his congregants, maybe they can get a piece of bread each a day.
Why didn't he take his buddy the lesbian Christine Quinn along on the junket?
After all, he hosted her in his apartment at a Tu Bishevat seder when she was running for Mayor (he endorsed her) a few years ago.
Why didn't Ezra wear his shtreimel when he went to meet President Sisi?
Where is his kavod for malchus??
Is he opening up a stall in the Cairo bazaar now?

Hey Ezra! These chevra asked me to be shadchan with you.
Surely you can give them a glowing recommendation for a few kopeks.
The Egyptians duped Friedlander, Friedlander duped his fellow travelers Leon Goldenberg, Joe Stamm, et al, and is now trying to dupe the public at large.
Friedlander also duped your buddy Frankfurter from Ami magazine -

This whole Egyptian charm offensive to try to win favor in the USA via outreach to Jews (as other countries do as well, for a long time), was underway long before Friedlander came by. But he and his dupes try to convince people that they brought it about with their meeting and they deserve the credit.
