The Jews of Lebanon Project

Hundreds have been killed in the latest violence between Israel and Lebanon and we pray that this will open the door to a final and comprehensive peace agreement. Though we believe in the universal principal of the right to self-defense we condemn the indiscriminate and disproportionate response from the State of Israel and the deliberate targeting of civilians from both sides.

Ultimately, we condemn the violence wholeheartedly.

Our heartfelt condolences to the innocent lives that are lost in this conflict- whether Lebanese and Israeli.

I’ve come across an article on the World Jewish News Agency website. I’m not familiar with the site but one can not help but question the content of the article. By all means, this would be a wonderful surprise but I couldn’t confirm. This article is not from our resources and is attributed to only the World Jewish News Agency.

Undated Article is as follows:

All indications lead to believe that the Jewish community is safe for now in Lebanon. The World Jewish News Agency learned that approximately 250 Lebanese Jews who used to live in the Jewish district of Wadi Abou Jmil in Beirut returned home this week. Their shops are open, the synagogue will go under intense repair and renovation, the small Jewish market will open next week and an official meeting between the new leaders of the Jewish community of Wadi Abou Jmil will meet next week with the Maronite Bishop in Acharafiyeh and the Muslim Mufti in Bastah, Beirut.
