Culture

Lebanese Jews spoke Arabic and French, studied in Alliance Israélite Universelle schools, and gathered at the Maghen Abraham synagogue in Beirut, which was restored after years of war.

A Cultural Journey Through Time

Lebanese Jews blended Arab, French, and Jewish life, from the summer resort of Aley to the synagogues of Beirut's Wadi Abu Jamil. Their heritage lives on in families in Brazil, France, North America, and Israel.
