Jewish Artifacts

We have been rescuing not only Jewish people but valuable Judaica and Torahs from Syria, including  from the Jobar synagogue that was heavily damaged by bombings, for the past eight years.  We are continuing our work to preserve these ancient artifacts by bringing them to the United States for safekeeping.  One day, it will be safe to return these testaments to the Jewish faith and the Jewish people back to a peaceful Syria.

​

A Genizah is storage place for old books and relics and we have identified several of these locations where truckloads of ancient and treasured works remain very vulnerable to loss and destruction.
