Jews in Syria After Assad
The head of Syria’s Jewish community, Bikhor Siman Tov, said that the community’s members—whose numbers have fallen to six—live normal lives and are not subjected to harassment. He described the Syrian government as a source of support that provides protection to Jewish visitors. However, he said that the Jobar Synagogue could not be restored because of a lack of funding, and voiced concern over dozens of homes—perhaps around 100—that belonged to Jews who left the country and were transferred to Syrian citizens without being returned to their owners. He expressed optimism that peace could be achieved, despite protests marked by anti-Jewish chants and hardline attitudes toward Israel.
