Half have left in the past decade. Yemen is practically Judenfrei, where there had been a community since King Solomon sat on the throne, according to legend. There is one Jew in Afghanistan, and one charming lady in my grandmother's home village of Berne, in Lower Saxony. As I recall, she belongs to the synagogue in Bremen.
Soon there will be entire swathes of the world that have no Jews at all, much to the satisfaction of their erstwhile countrymen, stewing in the problems that caused the Jews to flee. |
