Avraham Synagogue in Beirut Coming Soon!
The blog will be back in 2007 with new content, new information, and most importantly, more ambition and determination. We are making more intensive efforts to make this project successful and more recognized. We must thank our visitors and contributors for helping us make this a success, the amount of emails we received in addition to the comments posted here were unimaginable when we first started this project. I have to particularly thank the hundreds of people who contacted us privately with their heartfelt words and comments; you provided us with such a deep sense of happiness -you really kept us going.
Our dear Lebanon is experiencing troubles, something we have become accustomed to but never accepting of, the republic of true democracy and true liberty must and will be founded so as to set an example for the entire world. To our brethren in Lebanon and around the world, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim, speak up and work for the cause of Lebanon. Lebanon gave our ancestors a home, gave our parents pride, it’s our turn to give back and give our children a place to live where they can call home. Lebanon WAS and IS our home.
The political prostitution of Lebanese leaders must be acknowledged by political partisans, no nation in the world willingly or voluntarily “helps” without a commission in return. We have watched Lebanon tear apart in this tug-of-war between the polarizations of international politics for decades, 2006 was no different and 2007 doesn’t look promising. National unity, national unity, national unity- in society, in governance, and in reality.
We are a free people, an intelligent people who have made countless and immeasurable contributions to the world, we have been supplying the respective nation’s of the world for decades with the indispensable brains and skills except our own. Lebanon needs us at this time, to reaffirm our rights and our national unity.
Lebanon needs us… what will you do?
Finally, we want to wish all our visitors a safe and blessed holiday season. We hope all your goals were fulfilled in 2006 and 2007 is a healthy and even more prosperous year for you!
God Bless Lebanon and all Lebanese.

I just found out about this site and I am very happy to see this effort.
I too have been reading up on the missing part of our community for the past few years. They are missed, that’s for sure, and that feeling is more widespread in Lebanon than it appears to be.
I am looking forward to see updates on the site. In the mean time you can find good pictures of Magen Abraham here:

It’s always refreshing to hear from some one that believes that this world belongs to every one and not just a few. Although I am a Christian you have rekindled my faith in Human beings. Since terrorism has been taking hold I would have to say that I have frowned on Muslims. At one time I had admired them as a Faith that showed out front who they were.Even now it bothers me that when a Pope had referred to another that said The Muslim faith was a vicious Faith, the Muslims swore that the were not a vicious Faith and to prove it they burned several Christian Churches and killed a defenseless NUN. This has kept me confussed. Then the reasoning that I got back was that I just don’t under stand.It’s hard to understand a person that kills I guess.
