Lebanon's Forgotten Jewish Quarter
Om avsnittet
In this episode, we explore the vibrant yet often overlooked history of Lebanon’s Jewish communities, focusing on figures like David Najjar and Salim Malki from Tripoli and Sidon. We trace how Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews integrated into Lebanese society under the Ottoman Empire and French Mandate, contributing to trade and culture while navigating complex religious identities. From the ancient Phoenician roots linked to Paleo-Hebrew inscriptions in Byblos and Tyre to the modern erasure of these communities, this story highlights a hidden layer of Middle Eastern heritage that challenges our understanding of regional conflict and coexistence.
