Are Syrian Jews Arabs?
Historian Dan Shapira shows that "Syrian Jews" was never a single identity. The communities of Damascus, Aleppo, and Qamishli each had their own languages, traditions, and histories. He traces their departure from the late nineteenth century through the evacuation of Syria's last Jews between 1992 and 2016.
