Bambi would like to thank journalist Roula Douglas for re-tweeting her colleague’s moving yet beautiful pictures of an abandoned synagogue in Bhamdoun, Lebanon.
This brings Bambi to extend her gratitude directly to Mr. Mathieu Karam, MSc., Photographer and Co-Manager of Live News at L’Orient Today and L’Orient Le Jour.
At least there are still ways for the light to get inside.
True, well said. Happy Rosh Hashana Fred, from Bambi.
Wow! It’s beautiful! Why was it abandoned?
Bambi is happy you like the pictures of this holy place! It was abandoned before or shortly before the start of civil war, if Bambi is not mistaken (in 1975). Achim, you would be interested in knowing that Bhamdoun village also has seven churches (i.e., one of them is Protestant and the others are as follows: four Greek Orthodox and two Maronites), a Druze Khalwa, and two Mosques.
Thank you Bambi for this information!
Welcome Achim and Bambi is grateful for your insights!
