Amazing stuff!
"The remaining few Jews in Syria are now able to visit the Jobar Synagogue, one of the oldest synagogues in the world, after the fall of Bashar al-Assad earlier this month.
The synagogue, located in the Jobar suburb of Damascus, was partially destroyed during the Syrian Civil War ... The area was heavily restricted by Assad’s forces from 2018 until just a few weeks ago.
Syria only has nine Jewish people remaining in the country, the head of the Syrian Jewish community, Bakhour Chamntoub, told the AP."
A damaged synagogue is seen in the Damascus suburb of Jobar December 14, 2014. The shrine and synagogue of prophet Eliahou Hanabi, dates back to 720 B.C.
