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.

Hello, I am from Georgia. I was looking for this sinagogue for a lot of time. Now I am looking for the street where it is located. As I know, it is on the street named Flowers street. May be somebody has the piqtures of this street, if yes, please send me the piqtures on this email: ninot@yandex.ru. I am going to write novel about the last sinagogue in Kabul...
