"Fewer than a hundred #Jewish people are estimated to remain in #Syria, scattered across a country where their community once numbered in the tens of thousands.

In the narrow stone alleys of #Damascus's ancient #JewishQuarter, the question of how to maintain #religious tradition with almost no one left to sustain it has become urgent, and nowhere is that more visible than in the search for #kosher #food.

#BakhorShamntoub, head of Syria's #Mussawi or Jewish community, sat down with Euronews to explain how a tradition that once sustained an entire community now depends on individual effort, occasional #imports from #Turkey, and packages sent by relatives in the #US.

#Kosherlaw, #Shamntoub explained, permits lamb, beef and chicken — but only under strict conditions."
