Dear Madame/Sir,

Thank you for registering with TheJewsofLebanon.org website. In less than a year, a 30 year silent exodus of Lebanon’s Jewish community was brought to the forefront of our attention, and the groundwork is being laid to once again reaffirm our adamant belief in religious tolerance and coexistence, and preserving and replenishing Lebanon’s unique identity in the region and the world.

In a matter of months, this website caught the attention of the world press, and it’s by no mere coincidence a series of articles about the Jewish community were published for weeks in Beirut. Essentially a forgotten community, nonetheless an intricate piece of Lebanon’s diverse religious mosaic, the trend is being reversed and we are up for a long struggle.

When I was only 17 years-old, instead of indulging in the typical adolescence, I first learned about the Jewish community and most importantly, I acknowledged the fragile identity that must be protected in Lebanon. This project is universally applicable, we are here to promote and to uphold the principle of coexistence and there is no better place in the world than in Lebanon to diagnose and prescribe such a formula. It’s an example for the world, “it is more than a country, it is a message”. This project is strictly humanitarian, there are no political motives or agendas, whether personal or otherwise, and no politicization of the issue will be tolerated whatsoever. This is an officially recognized Lebanese community and it will remain confined within this context.

This effort is ongoing and we are in the beginning stages of developing an NGO, frankly, this website can only go so far but it has nevertheless provided a venue for awareness and it has accomplished that goal. If you are interested in playing a more significant role in these beginning stages of the NGO preparation please respond to this email address and make notice. It’s with our collective effort we can reach success; individual contributions reciprocating into a greater manifestation.

Thank you sincerely for your support and your interest.

Warmest personal regards,
