Culture

Syrian Jews spoke Judeo-Arabic, guarded the Aleppo Codex for centuries, and kept a rich liturgy and customs that their communities in Brooklyn, Deal, Mexico City, and Israel still follow.

A Cultural Journey Through Time

Syrian Jews are one of the most ancient Jewish communities in the world. Their heritage lives on in the pizmonim and Baqashot songs of Aleppo, in dishes like kibbeh and mehshi, and in close knit communities in Brooklyn, Latin America, and Israel.
