The Kabul synagogue, known by locals as the "Jewish Mosque",[1][2] is an abandoned Jewish synagogue in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was built in the 1960s, when Afghanistan's Jewish population numbered in the thousands. The synagogue fell into disrepair over the latter half of the 20th century due to the emigration of the country's Jewish population, damage during the Second Afghan Civil War, and persecution under the Taliban.
In the early years of the 21st century, the synagogue was home to Zablon Simintov and Yitzhak Levin, believed to be the last two Jews in Afghanistan, who served as the synagogue's caretakers. Levin died at the synagogue in 2005, and Simintov was evacuated from Afghanistan in 2021 after the Taliban takeover of the country.
