Leon Angel (1900-1973) ليون أنجل was a Jewish actor and filmmaker from Alexandria, Egypt. Angel was best known by his screen name, Chalom (Shalom; شالوم; שלום). In the 1930s, Angel appeared in a series of Muslim-Jewish buddy films in which he played a comic Jewish character—also named “Chalom.” While other Jews of Egypt were involved in the Egyptian cinema industry, Angel was the only Jewish star to headline an Egyptian movie playing a Jewish character. Angel later immigrated to Australia, where he participated in founding the first Sephardic synagogue in Australia.
