I visited Muizenberg a couple of times in the week before Christmas.
Here are some photos taken at the Muizenberg Shul. There was a healthy minyan for shacharit!
I then visited Gerald Musikanth, another Jewish icon of Muizenberg.
I spent time with Gerald at his Rustenburg Pharmacy, where he has an amazing collection of photos and Muizenberg memorabilia:
An intro from Gerald:

I then visited the Jewish cemetery. Here are some of my photos:

Hello Elirab: as a dedicated followers of yours I saw that you once travelled to Mir Belarus…My mothers family all of their generations come from Mir and even have Mirsky as their last name which changed within a a generation to Zuchovisky…I was wondering is there are still Jewish records of the families of Mir before 1900?..Have you any ideas how I could access them IF they exist…Sincerely George Weiss now living in the Netherlands
I’d like to visit the Pharmacy, in addition to the other Jewish sites. Can you give me the address please?
