Kabul 1
Ultima sinagoga en Kabul, Afganistan.
Se cree que los judios habitan esta region desde hace 2500 años, aunque los registros mas antiguos son del siglo XII, siendo mencionados en los escritos de Biniamin de Tudela. En 1950 habia en el pais unos 5.000 judios. La mayoria de estos emigraron a Israel, aunque un grupo considerable se estableció en Estados Unidos.
Hoy en dia queda un solo judio, Zebulun Simentov, viviendo en Kabul en el edificio de la sinagoga, quien ha considerado viajar a Israel donde ya se encuentra su familia.
