The Jews of Syria (1930-1967) tells the dramatic story of how the Syrian Jewish community in Aleppo and Damascus (along with other Jews in Arab lands) experienced harsh treatment and violence, and were forbidden to travel or emigrate following the partition of Palestine in 1947.
Along the way, we learn about the Aleppo Codex, the Great Synagogue of Aleppo, the riots against the Jews, efforts to escape, Rabbi Kalmanowitz and the Jews of Egypt, and Eli Cohen, the renowned Israeli spy.
