  1. "Fewer than a hundred #Jewish people are estimated to remain in #Syria, scattered across a country where their community once numbered in the tens of thousands.

    In the narrow stone alleys of #Damascus's ancient #JewishQuarter, the question of how to maintain #religious tradition with almost no one left to sustain it has become urgent, and nowhere is that more visible than in the search for #kosher #food.

    #BakhorShamntoub, head of Syria's #Mussawi or Jewish community, sat down with Euronews to explain how a tradition that once sustained an entire community now depends on individual effort, occasional #imports from #Turkey, and packages sent by relatives in the #US.

    #Kosherlaw, #Shamntoub explained, permits lamb, beef and chicken — but only under strict conditions."

  13. Damascus has one more kosher restaraunt than Seattle now.

    "It all began when a #Jewish #American family visiting #Syria found themselves eating only fruit for dinner. The food at the #hotel was not #kosher, and the hotel owner quickly realized there was a problem. Against the backdrop of Jewish #tourists returning to Syria under the country’s new regime, he decided, according to a report in The New York Times, to offer a #koshermenu for Jewish guests.

    The #RoyalSemiramis, a five-star hotel in #Damascus, reopened only in April 2025. Recently, following the introduction of its kosher menu, it has become a central hub for #Jews arriving in the city."
