Syria's Jewish Community Returns to Historic Synagogue Amid Challenges

Credited from: APNEWS

  • The Jobar Synagogue, one of the oldest in the world, is now accessible to Syria’s small Jewish population.
  • Once a vibrant community, the Jewish presence in Syria has dwindled to just nine individuals, primarily elderly.
  • The synagogue was significantly damaged during the 13-year civil war, leading to many artifacts being lost.
  • Community head, Bakhour Chamntoub, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to visit but was distressed by the synagogue's condition.
  • Despite challenges, Chamntoub hopes to rebuild connections and religious practices amidst a changing Syria.
