The 400+ year old Eliyahu HaNavi Synagogue, one of the oldest surviving shuls in Syria, was flattened and destroyed by Assad’s forces in Syria over the weekend. The synagogue is located in the Jobar neighborhood of Damascus. Exclusive full-size photos of the destroyed synagogue are available on The Daily Beast.
Syria used to have a large, vibrant and ancient Jewish community.
