Notes - Father, Abraham Ambar, was mistakenly murdered when Saleh was only a few months old. His mother, Simha, struggled to raise her children as a widow and planned to send one of her sons, Shaul, to Cairo to be raised by an uncle. On the day of Shaul's departure, young Saleh cried and asked to join his brother (Saleh was either 4 years old or 10 years old at the time). In the hopes of a better life for Saleh, Simha obliged and sent Saleh to Cairo with Shaul.
Both brothers were raised by their uncle Meir and eventually became partners in a textiles venture in Hamouzai, Cairo (see commercial letter with their logo attached; where is Hamouzai?). In around 1930 the brothers dissolved their partnership and Saleh joined a textile factory where he became a travelling salesman clocking 25 days on the road per month.
In 1910, an aunt named Tofaha decided that the daughter of her friend Rifka Azoulai would make the ideal wife for Saleh. Tofaha pretended that Saleh needed to rent an apartment as a pretext to enter Rifka's building and create a situation for Saleh to meet Aimée Azoulai. Aimée was asked to prepare coffee for the surprise guests, a task she preformed with grace. Saleh is said to have been immediately smitten by Aimée. The two married and traveled to Upper Egypt for their honeymoon.
Saleh was known as a very kind man and was considered to do justice to his name, which translated from Arabic into "the just one" or "the fair one".
