A Jewish artifact, a historic chair, has been returned to a synagogue in the Jewish Quarter of Damascus' Old City, according to reports. The recovery was made possible through the cooperation of local residents who helped track it down.
The chair, which holds cultural and religious significance, was restored to its original location in the synagogue. Details on how the chair was lost or removed remain unclear, but the community's involvement was key to its return.
This event highlights the preservation of Jewish heritage in Syria, where the Jewish population has dwindled over the decades. The synagogue in the Jewish Quarter is one of the few remaining sites of Jewish worship in the country.
