Afghanistan’s last remaining member of the Jewish community has fled the nation. Zebulon Simentov (a Jew who lived in Kabul) had been obeying the country’s law and prayed in Hebrew, went through decades of battle when the nation’s long-lived Jewish community quickly diminished.

On Monday, An American- Israeli entrepreneur, Moti Kahana, who operates a private security group that managed the evacuation, described to the AP (Associated Press) that the sixty-two years old Simentov and twenty-nine of his neighbors, most of them were kids and women, have taken them in the neighboring nation.

Moti Kahana described that Simentov, who had previously gone through Taliban government, wasn’t anxious about them. Moreover, Moti Kahana threatened him; he was in danger of getting captured or kidnapped, or murdered by the main Islamic State group. He explained that neighbors of Simentov even pushed him to flee, so their kids could catch him on the bus out.
