The Wadi Abou Jamil synagogue in Beirut was bombed by Israeli warplanes during the 1982 invasion...ironic.

Nice thread, but all of these are thousands of years old? Are there modern ones around.. PLus, do you the status of the synagogues--if they are still in operation?

There is 1 modern one built in Tunisia, thats all I know of.
All of the rest are mostly used if there are jewish communities like
in Iran, Marocco, Tunisia.
In iraq and syria its museums or closed.
Baghdad was known as the city of 1000 synagogues, I think all of them
have been changed to other uses.
I dont know in cairo.

BTW, if anyone wants to see synagogues in Israel, then click here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=328089).
