Lebanon's Jews Recall a Lost Era of the Community
Lebanon was once home to 18,000 to 20,000 Jews. Most left after the 1967 war and during the civil war of 1975 to 1990, and only about 20 are believed to remain. The Associated Press speaks with Lebanese Jews about the community they remember, and the Jewish leaders who were abducted during the civil war and never returned.
