Zebulon Simentov, the last known Jew living in Afghanistan, recites the Hebrew blessing for the challah, the traditional Jewish loaf of bread used on Shabbat, substituted by Afghan flat bread, during Shabbat dinner in his Kabul home. Simentov is the caretaker and sole member of Afghanistan's only working synagogue.
A shofar and Hebrew texts sit where a Torah was once kept in the synagogue overseen by Zebulon Simentov.
Zebulon Simentov, prays during Shabbat dinner in his Kabul home, as Shirgul Amiri, a local muslim friend, carries a tray of food.
