Really enjoy your podcast Haviv. Great stuff.
Just wanted to say that as I started listening to ‘48 hours in Syria’ I remembered an episode of Jewish History Nerds about this very ancient synagogue. I so wished they could have joined you on your trip David. At least they might be closer to seeing it in the flesh than when I listened to their episode🤞
