Today is a lucky day for all you Fat Bidin fans out there! Every Wednesdays, I offer up one limited photo print for sale. But today, and only today, I am offering TWO limited photo prints for sale!

Zebolon Simantov, the last Jew in Afghanistan, holding an old jewish scripture in his synagogue.

The picture above is of Zebalon Simantov, the last Jew in Afghanistan. You heard me right. He is the last surviving Jew in the entire country of Afghanistan. Everyone of his people have left, including his wife and children (who have fled to Israel).

But Simantov refuses to leave because “Afghanistan is my country! I am Afghan!”

I managed to track him down in Kabul and he agreed to give me an interview and to show me around his house and synagogue (after haggling for the right price!). You can watch the video below.

Although he seems to be a little tight financially, his life looks pretty happy and content. He definitely knows where his home is.

Zebolon Simantov , the last Jew in Afghanistan, with his best friend, a Muslim, Abdul Shukor.
