A 92-year-old Jewish woman, Hadiya Sittah, has passed away in Damascus, leaving only eight elderly Jews in Syria. The Chief Rabbinate for Syrian Jewry expressed condolences and called on Syrian Jews worldwide to honor her memory. Syria's Jewish community, which once numbered around 100,000, has faced restrictions and tensions leading to mass emigration since the establishment of Israel in 1948. Predictions suggest that Syria will soon have no Jewish population.
