Description

The dilapidated structure of the Magen Avraham synagogue is nearly all that remains of the Jewish presence in Lebanon. A once vibrant community that numbered as many as 22,000, is now non-existent. The few Jews that do remain in Lebanon do so as discreetly as possible. A new project to raise $1 million launched by the Lebanese Jewish Community Council to restore the Magen Avraham synagogue in downtown Beirut is the possibility of bringing back the communities presence.
