Jewish Cemetery of Beirut.
NB: It was maybe like 1-2 miles away where I was born and raised in Beirut. It is in our district/neighborhood.

I am not certain about the number. Before the 1975 civil war, the number of Israelites of Lebanon, as they are called, was in thousands. Like many hundred of thousands of the Lebanese they emigrate out of Lebanon due security and safety reasons and financial hardship.
The current number is unknown, but they are still there. I watched once a TV interview with a Jewish lady who said she will never leave Lebanon. The country where she was born and lived.

The History of Jewish people in Lebanon as most of Arab world is very old. Also, they lived in peace in Lebanon for very long time. They have never been persecuted or forced to leave Lebanon.
I wanted to show their families, synagogues, and their heritage in Lebanon.
