There are some synagogues for Jews scattered across the Muslim-majority nations of the Middle East.
But they are rare.
Now, their number has risen by one, following the opening of a synagogue in the United Arab Emirates.
According to a report from Israel365 News, it is the first synagogue in the UAE.
The report described it as “a historic event not just for the Middle East but for the world.”
It’s part of a development in the UAE that includes three structures, almost identical, for Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
“Elie Abadie, the senior rabbi of the Jewish Council of the Emirates, told JNS that it is very notable for an Arab country to build a Jewish house of worship,” the report explained.
