After decades of exile, a group of American Jews with deep roots in Damascus has returned to Syria to rediscover their long-lost heritage. Organized by the Syrian Emergency Task Force, the four-day visit took participants on a moving tour of historic synagogues, former schools, and even the ruins of the ancient Jobar Synagogue—evoking memories of a once-thriving Jewish community. Their journey not only revived cherished memories but also ignited hope for restoring their ancestral homes and cultural legacy.
