Kabul synagogue
In 1948, there were about 5,000 Jews in Afghanistan. In the early 1960s, the community built a synagogue around a small courtyard on Flower Street in downtown Kabul. The two-story building has two sanctuaries and was dedicated on March 29, 1966. The synagogue's door was made of corrugated iron and laden with Stars of David. There is also a Jewish cemetery on the outskirts of the city where 1,000 people are reportedly buried.
