1 Year Anniversary
June 12th, 2007 at 1:15 amIt has been 1 year since the launch of this website and we hope to continue this endeavor for as many years as it takes until a new reality surfaces in Lebanon- genuine national unity where all Lebanese citizens reserve the right to live freely, openly, and with dignity regardless of their religious persuasion.
Lebanon is a nation built by minorities for minorities and shall remain as such. We must remain steadfast and unwavering in our beliefs, our values, for they are universal values applicable to any citizen in this world.
A great man once said, when working towards righteousness, “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win”. We are already successful because we have laid the foundations for this unparalleled undertaking, and in due time, we hope we will continue moving forward with the establishment of an NGO based in Beirut which is the only avenue towards triumph.
In only one year we have caught the eye of major international press, whether Time Magazine or An-Nahar Newspaper, we have proved this project is relevant to all citizens of the world and not specific primarily to Lebanon. The message of love, tolerance, and coexistence must be replenished and protected in the land of the cedars, the land of coexistence- Lebanon. Initially this project was attacked and shamed, but we have proved with time what we really stand for. Not any form of ignorance or hatred can shake the rock we call www.thejewsoflebanon.org
With more determination, ambition, and inspiration, I vow to continue spearheading this project until the new reality surfaces in Lebanon. A country for all, a message for the world.

It’s great to have this site. I’m lebanese but living in the states. When I discovered ur site by mistake, I stayed hours and hours reading it and amazed by all the things. I lived right accross the jewish cemetary and remember mom always telling me about her having jewish friends at school. I know some relatives of mine still have jewish friends back home, I believe the number is higher than what you stated. Even in Dahye where it’s a pure shiate area, we used to watch a jewish guy who lived there praying in his appartment. Check out my space for a girl called Lara, she is jewish Lebanese. A friend of mine told me about her when I showed him ur site. I’m sure if u go to advanced settings click lebanon and all catagories and ages u might find others
Great site. I would like to learn more about real life experiences or people living there. Keep the good job! :))

Great site! I’m definitely syndicating this one in my blog reader. All that invaluable information on your site calls for a documentary to be made.

Its nice from Belle949.. am amazed.. I never thought that there were Jews in Dahiye
I think that there just be a call or an appeal from politicians in Leb to the Lebanese Jews to feel free of coming back, living, visiting, celebrating their Jewish holidays peacefully..
Lets hope they also accept those who dont have religions

I knew about this website from the “Akhbar” Newspaper
which is ironically sponsored by “Iran”, the great enemy of “Israele” country as they loudly claim….
Great Website! Great job Mr. Beydoun:)
I will accept to deal and live with a “good” Jewish, like I do accept to deal and live with a “good” Muslim and a “good” Christian.
The key word is “Humanity”.
