	PHYLLIS LAMBERT; Synagogue Restoration - New York Times
		Phyllis Bronfman Lambert's project that would restore the 1,000-year-old Ben Ezra Synagogue in old Fostat, the city that existed before Cairo was founded, is laudable.
		But tragically it has become a victim of the "peace" process in that Egypt is in the shadow of Islamic fundamentalism, where no interfaith activity can be tolerated.
		Lambert's dream of establishing an interfaith center in the Ben Ezra Synagogue is a nonstarter in today's atmosphere, which is hostile to any "infidel" activity, Jewish or Christian.
