Praying at a synagogue in Kabul, Afghanistan, 1972

El-Idrisi (1100 - 1165), the Spanish Muslim cartographer, mentions the Jewish community of Kabul in his book Nuzhat al-Mushtaq fi Ikhtiraq al Afaq (The Delight of Him who Deceives to Journey Through the Climates). From the Middle Ages, Kabul Jews lived in a separate Jewish quarter – Mahall-i-Jehudiyeh. Back then, the city occupied a central place on the trade routes connecting all of Asia. The merchants were considered the elite of the Jewish community of the city. Many of them traded in leather and karakul (sheep pelt) and traveled long distances between Afghanistan, Iran, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent . Oftentimes these trips were dangerous, taking the merchants along narrow Afghan mountain passes where Hebrew and Aramaic prayers can still be seen carved in rocks.
