Israeli rabbi seeks assurances about Jobar Synagogue etc.

AFTER ASSAD, CONTINUED: Julani asked to protect historic Syrian synagogue in Syria by Israeli rabbi. Rabbi Binyamin Hamra, son of the late Rabbi Avraham Hamra, appealed to Julani to protect the country’s Jewish community and preserve its historic sites, including the Jobar Synagogue (Jerusalem Post).

It's worth asking. A positive reply would be welcome.
