  • Notes 
    • Father, Abraham Ambar, was mistakenly murdered at the age of 38. His mother, Simha, was struggling to raise her children as a widow and sent Shaul to Cairo to be raised by his uncle Mayer and Toffahah Ambar.

      Another story suggests Shaul did not want to be as religious as his older brother Youssef and attempted to run away from home before being caught and returned. Mother Simha eventually allowed Shaul to leave for Cairo under the conition that he stay with his uncle Mayer and take his younger brother Saleh with him.

      Shaul and Saleh Ambar became partners in a textiles venture in Cairo (see commercial letter with their logo attached). Around 1930 the brothers dissolved their partnership.
