"#Syrian-#American #Jew, #JosephJajati, told The Media Line that a historic chair stolen from a #synagogue in #Damascus' Old City's #JewishQuarter has been recovered, crediting local residents with helping secure the return of what he described as one of the Syrian #Jewish community's most significant heritage artifacts.
Speaking exclusively to The Media Line, #Jajati said he felt "immense gratitude, relief, and joy" following the chair's recovery, describing the outcome as "a great success" for both the local community and those committed to preserving #Syria's Jewish heritage.
According to Jajati, the recovered object is not merely a piece of furniture but the Chair of #Elijah (“Kisse shel #Eliyahu”), a ceremonial chair that holds deep religious significance in Jewish tradition. The chair is traditionally used during circumcision ceremonies, symbolizing the presence of the Prophet Elijah."
