الهوية
اللبنانية
لليهودي
مشكلة
The Lebanese identity for a Jew is a problem
ليش
؟ لأنه
بكل
هوية
بلبنان
Why? Because on every ID in Lebanon
مكتوب
شو
هو
المذهب
It states what the sect is
هلق
المذهب
اليهودي
بلبنان
Now the Jewish sect in Lebanon
مش
موجود
Doesn't exist
ما في
يهودي
، الكلمة
يهودي
مش موجودة
There is no Jew, the word Jew doesn't exist
موجودة
كلمتين
There are two words
واحد
إسرائيلي
، المذهب
إسرائيلي
One is Israeli, the sect is Israeli
والكلمة
التانية
مذهب
موسوي
And the second word is Mosaic sect
موسوي
كل واحد
موجود
Mosaic, everyone exists
من
برات
بيروت
From outside Beirut
يعني
طرابلس
، صيدا
، هيدا
بيكون
موسوي
Like Tripoli, Sidon, this one would be Mosaic
واللي
من
بيروت
هو
إسرائيلي
And the one from Beirut is Israeli
وفي
كمان
يعني
الملف
And there is also, like the file
مكتوب
بآخر
الملف
بالهوية
Written at the end of the file on the ID
مكتوب
ملف
737
It says File 737
737
يعني
100%
هيدا
يهودي
737 means 100% this one is Jewish
يعني
هلق
توصل
أنت
عالحاجز
So now you arrive at the checkpoint
و
بتعطي
هالبطاقة
And you hand over this card
يعني
بالحرب
الأهلية
1975
Like during the civil war in 1975
200
يهودي
انقتلوا
200 Jews were killed
ليش
انقتلوا
؟ لأنه
عطوا
الهوية
Why were they killed? Because they showed the ID
و
صاروا
قتلوهم
And they started killing them
لأنه
عرفوا
إنه
هن
يهود
Because they knew they were Jews
هلق
اليهودي
بينعرف
يا
ببطاقته
يا
بلهجته
Now a Jew is known either by his card or his accent
يعني
اليهود
متلنا
نحن
Like Jews like us
اللي
تعلمنا
عند
الفرنسوية
Who learned from the French
و
عند
الموارنة
And from the Maronites
نحن
كنا نمرق
بالحاجز
We used to pass through the checkpoint
ما في
مشاكل
بالمرة
No problems at all
بس
يعني الباقي
معتر
But the rest were affected
اسمي
جاك نيريا
، بالاسم القديم
جاك رينيخ
My name is Jack Neria, originally Jack Renikh
يعني
غيرت
اسمي
لما
طلعت
I changed my name when I left
ملحق
عسكري
ب
باريس
Military attaché in Paris
لأنه
كان
الواجب
تغير
اسمك
Because it was mandatory to change your name
لحتى يكون
اسم
عبري
To make it a Hebrew name
فبعد ما
كنت
بباريس
رجعت
عالجيش
So after I was in Paris I returned to the army
ضليتني
بالجيش
23
سنة
I stayed in the army for 23 years
و
بعد
ما خلصت
من
الجيش
And after I finished with the army
كنت
مستشاره
السياسي
I was his political advisor
و
الدبلوماسي
لإسحاق
رابين
And diplomatic advisor to Yitzhak Rabin
نحن
كنا
عيلة
يعني
خصوصية
بلبنان
We were a family, kind of special in Lebanon
ما كان
متلنا
كتير
There weren't many like us
لأنه
بيي
كان
من
روسيا
Because my father was from Russia
وأمي
كانت
من
جزيرة
رودوس
And my mother was from Rhodes Island
نحن
يعني
كنا
ببيروت
، بيروتية
و
لبنانية
We were in Beirut, Beirutis and Lebanese
يعني
ما كنا
عيلة
عايشة
We weren't a family living
من
برات
الوادي
From outside the valley
كنا عايشين
بحي
اسمه
الزيتونة
We lived in a neighborhood called Zeituna
وكان
لبيي
ولأمي
And it belonged to my father and mother
كان في عندهن
بنسيونين
They had two pensions
أنا
بتذكر
حتى
الاسم
I even remember the name
بنسيون
أريزونا
كان
بيسموه
Pension Arizona they used to call it
يعني
بفرق
كتير
من
غير
الجالية
اليهودية
It differed a lot from the rest of the Jewish community
ببيروت
بلبنان
، نحن
كنا
لبنانية
In Beirut in Lebanon, we were Lebanese
يعني
كان في عنا
بطاقة
هوية
لبنانية
We had a Lebanese ID card
جنسية
لبنانية
Lebanese nationality
و
أكترية
اليهود
اللي
كانوا
وقتها
بلبنان
And the majority of Jews who were in Lebanon then
كانوا
يا
عراقيين
يا
سوريين
Were either Iraqi or Syrian
يا
من
كل
البلاد
حتى
من
إيران
Or from all countries even from Iran
متل
ما
نحن
كنا عايشين
بالزيتونة
Like how we lived in Zeituna
الزيتونة
كانت
بعيدة
عن
وادي
أبو جميل
Zeituna was far from Wadi Abu Jamil
يعني
الثقافة
اللي
نحن
قبلناها
The culture that we adopted
قبلناها
ب
مدارس
فرنسوية
We adopted it in French schools
كل
إخواتي
من
الكبير
لإلي
All my siblings from the oldest to me
كلنا
تعلمنا
بذات
المدرسة
We all studied in the same school
مدرسة
زي
سان جوزيف
عنطورة
A school like Saint Joseph Antoura
العلاقة
بين
اليهود
و
لبنان
هي
عتيقة
كتير
The relationship between Jews and Lebanon is very old
يعني
الواحد
بيطلع على
تاريخ
اليهود
If one looks at the history of Jews
بلبنان
In Lebanon
بيشوف
إنه
تاريخهن
بيرجع
He sees that their history goes back
لتقريباً
2000
سنة
To almost 2000 years
كانوا عايشين
بصيدا
، كانوا عايشين
بطرابلس
They lived in Sidon, they lived in Tripoli
اليهود
إجوا
عموجات
، الموجة
الكبيرة
Jews came in waves, the big wave
إجت
بعد
طرد
اليهود
من
إسبانيا
Came after the expulsion of Jews from Spain
وبعدها
بـ
1910
إجوا
اليهود
And after that in 1910 the Jews came
و
أول
كنيس
أسس
بلبنان
And the first synagogue established in Lebanon
كان
ب
دير
القمر
Was in Deir el Qamar
دير القمر
كان في
هنالك
جالية
يهودية
In Deir el Qamar there was a Jewish community there
قاعدة
هنيك
بالمحل
Settled there in the place
حتى
منهن
كانوا
بعليه
وبحمدون
Even some of them were in Aley and Bhamdoun
بعد ما
صار
بيروت
صارت
العاصمة
After Beirut became the capital
مرقوا
كلهن
نقلوا
على
بيروت
They all moved to Beirut
و
ضلوا
بصيدا
لحديت
1985
And they stayed in Sidon until 1985
يعني
آخر
يهودي
طلع
من
صيدا
The last Jew left from Sidon
طلع
بـ
1985
Left in 1985
حتى
المقبرة
اللي
موجودة
بصيدا
Even the cemetery that exists in Sidon
هي
مقبرة
يهودية
It is a Jewish cemetery
يعني
هي
لحديت
اليوم
هي
جزء
It until today is part
من
الجالية
اليهودية
Of the Jewish community
إذا
كنت بتطلع
على
يهود
فلسطين
If you look at Jews of Palestine
كانوا
يحبوا
لبنان
They used to love Lebanon
يعني
كانوا
يصيفوا
بلبنان
They used to spend summers in Lebanon
كانوا
يصيفوا
بعليه
وبحمدون
They used to spend summers in Aley and Bhamdoun
كانوا
يبعتوا
ولادهن
يتعلموا
They used to send their children to study
بالجامعة
الأميركية
At the American University
بالأميركان
يونيفرسيتي
أوف
بيروت
At the American University of Beirut
لبنان
كانت
موضوع
مهم
كتير
Lebanon was a very important subject
بحياة
اليهود
In the lives of Jews
اللي
كانوا
عايشين
بفلسطين
Who were living in Palestine
وهيدا
توقف
بـ
1948
And this stopped in 1948
حتى
قبل
من هيك
بـ
1939
Even before that in 1939
كان
بيي
مثلاً
كان يسافر
كل
الوقت
My father for example was traveling all the time
بين
بيروت
و
حيفا
Between Beirut and Haifa
بـ 1939
وقفوه
الإنجليز
In 1939 the British stopped him
و
حطوه
بمية
و
مية
And put him in 100 and 100
مية
ومية كان
معقل
موجود
هنيك
100 and 100 was a fortress existing there
و
كان لازم
يدفع
سيتيفيكيت
And he had to pay for a certificate
1000
ليرة
بريطانية
1000 British pounds
لحتى
يقدر
يطلع
من
الحبس
To be able to get out of prison
ويتوعد
إنه
مش رح
يرجع
ع
فلسطين
And promise he wouldn't return to Palestine
لهالسبب
هو
ضل
بلبنان
For this reason he stayed in Lebanon
ومن
بعد ما
ضل
بلبنان
And after he stayed in Lebanon
وبعد ما
ماتت
مرته
تجوز
مع
أمي
And after his wife died he married my mother
بين اليهود يعني بالوادي؟
Among Jews in the Valley?
فبلاه هيك ما كان يعني عرف أمي
So like this he didn't know my mother
على كل حال يعني 1948 وقف العلاقة
Anyway 1948 stopped the relationship
بين إسرائيل وبين لبنان
Between Israel and Lebanon
واللي صار إنه صاروا اللي موجودين
And what happened is those who were present
من عراق ومن سوريا
From Iraq and from Syria
يهربون لإسرائيل عن طريق الحدود اللبنانية
Fled to Israel via the Lebanese border
ولما صار تقريباً مستحيل يمرقوا الحدود
And when it became almost impossible to cross the border
كانوا يمشوهن من البحر من بيروت
They moved them by sea from Beirut
من مرفأ بيروت لحديت حيفا
From Beirut Port to Haifa
الجالية اليهودية كانت بتعيش يعني مع بعضها
The Jewish community was living together
قليل كنت بتشوف إنه اليهود بيطلعوا
Rarely you would see Jews coming out
من الجالية من الوادي
From the community from the Valley
اللي كان في عنده أموال
Who had money
وكان في عنده إمكانيات
And had means
كان يطلع من الوادي
Would come out of the Valley
لأن الوادي كان يعني عايشين مع بعض
Because the Valley was living together
يعني عيشة صعبة، بس كان كل شي موجود
A hard life, but everything was available
كان في عندك ماغين أبراهام
You had Magen Abraham
يعني الكنيس الكبير
The big synagogue
وكان في ملعب باسكتبول وملعب جودو
And there was a basketball court and a Judo court
وكان في كمان كل اللي لازمه
And there was everything needed
يعني حتى بهالوادي
Even in this Valley
كان في أكتر من 18 كنيس، من 18 كنيس
There were more than 18 synagogues, 18 synagogues
ونحن ما كنا نزور الوادي
And we didn't visit the Valley
وما كنا نزور بس إيمتى بلشنا نزور الوادي؟
We didn't visit, but when did we start visiting the Valley?
لما بلشنا بدنا كنا بدنا نتعرف على يهوديات
When we started we wanted to meet Jewish girls
ليش قرروا أهلك إنه ما يسكنوا
Why did your parents decide not to live
أنا
بفكر
إنه بيي
ما اعتبر
حاله
يهودي
I think my father didn't consider himself Jewish
لحتى
آخر
يومه
Until his last day
قبل ما
يموت
وتذكر
إنه هو
يهودي
Before he died and remembered he is Jewish
فطلب
على
فراش الموت
So he requested on his deathbed
طلب
من
أمي
إنه
يقبروه
He requested from my mother to bury him
بالمقبرة
اليهودية
ببيروت
In the Jewish cemetery in Beirut
وهيك
اللي
صار
، يعني
بس
هو
ما كان
يعني
And that's what happened, but he wasn't
بيي
ما كان
يتدخل
My father didn't interfere
بأغراض
العيلة
وكيف
لتربية
الولاد
In family matters and how to raise children
ولا
شي
Or anything
بس
شي
واحد
كان
هو
مصمم
But one thing he was insistent on
إنه
ما
يكون
في
أصحاب
That there be no friends
مسلمين
أو
مسيحية
لولاده
Muslim or Christian for his children
هيدا
ما كان
يطيقه
This he couldn't stand
يعني
أكترية
الشيء
إذا
كان
أنت
Most things if you
كان في عندك
صاحبك
You had your friend
اسمه
فؤاد
يا
محمد
يا
شي
يعني
His name Fouad or Muhammad or something
ما كان لازم
تخبر
هيدا
لبيي
You didn't need to tell this to my father
لأنه
بيغضب
كتير
Because he gets very angry
و
يعني ما كان
يقبلها
بالمرة
And he didn't accept it at all
بعتك
على
مدرسة
مسيحية
مع هيك
Sent you to a Christian school with that
مش
هو
، أمي
بعتتني
Not him, my mother sent me
على
مدرسة
مسيحية
To a Christian school
و
أصحابه
كلهن
، أصحابه
كانوا
كلهن
And all his friends, his friends were all
من
الأشكناز
From Ashkenazi
يعني
من
الروسيين
كان يحكوا
مع بعضهن
From the Russians they used to talk among themselves
بالإيديش
يا
بالروسي
In Yiddish or in Russian
متل ما
أنا
بتذكر
، ولما
كان بيحكي
مع
أمي
Like I remember, and when he talked with my mother
كان بيحكي
مع
أمي
فرنساوي
He used to talk with my mother in French
لحتى
ما
نحن
نفهم
So that we wouldn't understand
كانوا
يحكوا
مع بعض
بالتركي
، بالتركي
They used to talk among themselves in Turkish, in Turkish
فهيك
تعلمت
التركي
و
تعلمت
الفرنساوي
So I learned Turkish and learned French
و
تعلمت
لغات
غيرها
يعني
من
البيت
And learned other languages from home
ومين
كانوا
أصحابك
أنت
وأنت
بالمدرسة
And who were your friends you and you in school
يعني
؟
I mean?
بالمدرسة
كنت أنا
بمدرسة
داخلية
In school I was in a boarding school
يعني
ما كنت بطلع
من
المدرسة
I didn't go out from school
يوم
يوم
لا
، كنت
بروح
بأول
السنة
Day by day no, I used to go at the beginning of the year
و
كان
في
عيد الميلاد
And there was Christmas
وبعدين
كان في
الفصح
وكذا يعني
And then there was Easter and so on
بالأعياد
المسيحية
On Christian holidays
كنا
نطلع
على
البيت
We used to go out to the house
يعني
كل
الوقت
كنت
داخلي
All the time I was internal
وأنا
بتذكر
يعني
من
أول
صف
لآخر
صف
And I remember from first grade to last grade
كان في
كنا
تلاتة
أربعة
There were we three four
مع بعض
كل
الوقت
Together all the time
واحد
اسمه
أنطوان
بوشارة
One named Antoine Bouchara
واحد
اسمه
مجدي
بدوي
One named Majdi Badawi
بيي
من
مصر
و
كان
بعدين
بيي
صار
طيار
His father from Egypt and then his father became a pilot
وجي
وصارت
قضية
كبيرة
مع
بيي
And this became a big issue with my father
كان في
واحد
اسمه
نبيل
نحاس
There was one named Nabil Nahhas
اليوم
هو
رسام
شهير
قاعد
بنيويورك
Today he is a famous painter living in New York
هودي
تلاتة
مع بعض
كنا
كل
الوقت
These three together we were all the time
يعني
كنا
مع بعض
We were together
يعني
من
أول
صف
لآخر
صف
كنا
ذات
الجهة
From first grade to last grade we were the same side
هودي
اللي
كانوا
أصحابي
These who were my friends
بس
يعني
شو
أصحابي
؟ لما
كنت برجع
عالبيت
But what friends? When I used to return home
كنت
لوحدي
I was alone
ما كان يعني
أصحابي
كانوا
بيضلوا
بالمدرسة
My friends used to stay in school
ما كانوا بيجوا
معي
ببيروت
They didn't come with me to Beirut
يعني بالبيئة
الاجتماعية
In the social environment
نحن
ما كان عنا
أصحاب
بالمرة
We didn't have friends at all
فشو
كان
أنا
بتذكر
مثلاً
So what was I remember for example
كان في
بنت
كنت أنا أحبها
كتير
اسمها
داني
There was a girl I loved very much named Dani
و
كنت
عاشق
إنه
كون
صاحبها
بس
هي
ما ردت
And I was eager to be her friend but she didn't respond
ليش
؟ لأنها
كانت
مفكرة
لأنه
أنا
كنت
بحكي
Why? Because she thought that I was speaking
هيك
عربي
إنه
أنا
مسيحي
Such Arabic that I am Christian
لأن
اليهود
بلبنان
كان بيحكوا
بلهجة
Because Jews in Lebanon used to speak with an accent
يا
دمشقية
يا
حلبية
يا
عراقية
Either Damascene or Aleppine or Iraqi
يعني
لما
أنت
بتفتح
تمك
بلبنان
بيعرفوا
When you open your mouth in Lebanon they know
من
وين
أنت
جاي
Where you come from
هلق
أنا
جاي
من
كسروان
Now I come from Keserwan
إذا
جاي
من
كسروان
يعني
أنا
مسيحي
If coming from Keserwan I am Christian
يعني
كيف
مسيحي
بده
يتعاطى
مع
اليهود
؟
How can a Christian deal with Jews?
وصلنا
مرة
خيي
وأنا
We arrived once my brother and I
شوف
شو
عم قلك
خيي
ليش
؟
Look what I'm telling you my brother why?
اليهودي
كان بيقول
أخي
The Jew used to say Akhi
وكان
يعني
أنا
بقول
بيي
هو
شو
بيقول
؟ أبي
And I say Biyi he what does he say? Abi
أنا
بقول
أمي
هو
بيش
بيقول
الوالدة
يا
أمي
I say Ummi he what does he say? Al-Walida or Ummi
يعني في
حسب
اللهجة
حسب
الكلمة
بيعرفوا
According to accent according to word they know
من
وين
جاي
Where you come from
يعني
إذا
أنت
مرقت
قدام
حاجز
مسلم
وحكيت
If you passed in front of a Muslim checkpoint and spoke
بيطلبوا
منك
إنه
تحكي
كم
كلمة
They would ask you to speak a few words
و
إذا
لهجتك
يعني
بيعرفوا
من
لهجتك
And if your accent they know from your accent
أنت
مسيحي
راحت عليك
قتلوك
You are Christian off you go they killed you
حاجز
إيش
يعني

بالحرب
الأهلية
Checkpoint what means? Checkpoint during the civil war
بالحرب

Sitting militias and everyone goes makes for him
هويتك

أول
سؤال

The first question is what is your religion?
هلق
نحن
كنا
بالمدرسة
كنا
داخلية
Now we were in school we were boarding
يعني كل يعني
بلشنا

صف
كملنا
We started in first grade we finished

على
كل واحد
، كل

ذات
الشي
On everyone, every year the same thing
يعني
البيئة
المسيحية
كانت
ضد
اليهود
The Christian environment was against Jews
من
ناحية
دينية
From a religious aspect
يعني
هن
ما صدقوا
إنه
نحن
ما صلبنا

They didn't believe that we didn't crucify Christ
يعني

Very hard
