I graduated from the College des Freres in Jaffa in 1954 and left Israel for Paris, where I was born, to study journalism. After receiving my Master's degree, I immigrated to the U.S. I currently live in southern California.

Hi, i'm Salvo Maddaloni's sister; my brother studied in Frères's College in 1962-1966. Then he went to Rome (Italy) to study Architecture. He came in Israel and he went to see a classmate of him in Nazareth, a Doctor son of a Pharmacicien, in May 2008. I would like to find that person, because unfortunately my brother dead in October 2008. I also would like to contact other classmates of Salvo, if someone remembers him. His Teacher or Director was Frère Michel, and he remembered Madame Pazzi. Please, write to me. Thanks to everyone.

My name is Grigory Lwow; I studied at College St. Joseph in 1950 and 1951.

From the comments I read herein, I conclude that the College continues to be operation. This is wonderful news!

We left Israel in late 1953 for Brazil, where I still live; next September I will be traveling to Israel for the first time, since we left. I will be stopping there; it would be great to find my records if still there.

I attended the College des Freres in Jaffa from 1938 to 1948. I visited the College in the summer of 1980 when I made a brief visit to Jaffa just to reminisce. Since the school was closed for the summer, there was only one Frere in residence, and he pulled my school records and showed them to my kids!

Many of the schoolmates I remember are mentioned in the comments posted by Anwar Sacca below. What a small world!
Posted by ghattas badih on March 10, 2009 #70244

I have been to this college from 1973 to 1989.
It is really a great college, surely one of the best in Palestine. It had travelled through some difficulties, but everything is ok.
Posted by Anselmo De Portu on January 27, 2009 #65438

I graduated from the "College" in 1961 and I left for Rome to study architecture. I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I have very good memories of Frere Michel and Frere Jean. I doubt if they are alive.
Please contact me. I would like to have some "news"...after so many years.
Best regards,

Posted by deborah on October 22, 2008 #55371

Hello, I am deborah Sarfatti (maiden name)
I graduated in 1968 and remember very well madame sylvie. Frere Jean taught us typing and soeur Theresa bit our fingers with a ruler (lol) What a great school!! Beautiful years of our lives. Frere Michel was always very nice fellow. My favorite was Soeur Eugenie, she was an angel. Indeed this school has taught us all harmony and loving each other without prejudice. This site should not be a propaganda, but should bring people together. It was the best school in the world and I feel very lucky to have been educated by such professional staff.

Hello/Bonjour,
This is the entrance to collأ¨ge des frأ¨res in Jaffa. Once through the gate & the doors there's a long corridor. On both sides are classes and towards the end on the left is the dining hall. At the end, through another set of doors is the school yard. On the 2nd floor used to be the dormitories for the pensioners. I was one of them from 1960 to 1968. Grأ¢ce aux frأ¨res, surtout frأ¨re Henri, j'ai eu une أ©ducation extraordinaire et j'ai appris أ  vivre harmonieusement avec toutes les cultures et rأ©ligions de la terre. En plus, cette ouverture d'أ©sprit m'a permis de parler plusieurs langues et de respecter des opinions divergentes sans nuire أ  ma propre personne ni a mes propres racines. Je suis maintenant un auteur/compositeur/intأ©rprأ¨te, rأ©cipiendaire d'un Juno en 2003 pour le meilleur album, musique du monde, au canada et souvent lors de mes spectacles je parle de jaffa, du collأ¨ge des frأ¨res et de cette merveilleuse harmonie qui existait et que je suis certain existe toujours parmis les أ©lأ¨ves du collأ¨ge, toutes nationalitأ©s, cultures et religions confondues. Longue vie au collأ¨ge et j'أ©spأ¨re me rendre de retour bientأ´t. Shalom, Pavlo.

Posted by GEORGE G. KORDA on November 10, 2007 #23240

MY NAME IS GEORGE GERSHON KORDA. I PASSED SOME 3 (1962-1965) PRETTY HAPPY AND VERY FRUITFULL YEARS AS A PENSIONAIRE.
I WAS 9-12 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. I MOSTLY HAD GOOD SOUVENIERS FROM THE RECCESSES AND FROM FADOUL(THE HOUSE MASTER ?) TAKING CARE OF MY KNEE INJURIES. GOOD EDUCATION AND HABITS (THE BEATINGS/PUNISHMENTS WILL REMAIN A VERY UNPLEASANT SOUVENIER...)U R WELCOME TO WRITE ME.
Posted by Gianfranco Colliva on September 19, 2007 #20630

I agree with Daniel.I was at the College from 1951-64 & can testify that many of the children were Jewish or Christians who came from all over the world. We had arab children from Jaffa, Nazareth & other areas. Some were Christian, some Muslim. The Freres were catholics and some lay teachers were Jewish or Christian. We all mixed & grew up together. We left College Des Freres with a solid education, values and tolerance. This also applies to the College Des Soeurs.
I'm a Catholic married to a Muslim lady.This is the month of Holy Ramadan and I support her in her fasting.As to Selim El Far I regret you felt compelled to leave. Some of your friends in Jaffa didn't.I hope your years at the College gave you the basis for a good & fruitful life. Nor Daniel or myself are using this platform for political debate but to make the point that the College Des Freres & Soeurs are left out of it. They are still too close to our hearts,40/50 yrs later. Regards and may the Peace of God be with you.
Posted by Daniel Friedlander on September 18, 2007 #20605

I was a student at College des Freres Jaffa, and I am addressing the people in charge of the web site called "Palestine remembered.com".
I Think you should stop using my school as a medium for your political opinions with all due respect for your opinions. Especially College des freres, because that school was a perfect example of a non-political school, there were arab students, jewish students, & christian students there all getting along with each other, in many cases living and eating together if they were pensionaires. There were no distinctions between any of them, everybody was treated equally. The staff at the school was also a mixture of both arab and jewish teachers, the people who ran the school, the freres were catholics. That school was a perfect example showing that people can co-exist in peace no matter what their origin. It will be appreciated if you use another medium for your cause.
Respectfully yours: Daniel Friedlander

Posted by Salim El Far on January 29, 2007 #13268

I know this College as my home. This is where I received my tuition from the year 1938 until April 1948 when I left (compelled to leave) Jaffa with my family in a ship (Titus) that took us to Beirut. I still remember the name of the teachers; Frere Absalon Benoit (Director) Frere Joseph (Procureur) Frere Erlid, Frere Jean Kostka, Frere Eugene, Frere Edouard ,Frere Louis. I shall never forget that.
