The opening as it read in 2025
The history of the Jews in Lebanon encompasses the presence of Jews in present-day Lebanon stretching back to biblical times . While Jews have been present in Lebanon since ancient times, their numbers had dwindled during the Muslim era. Through the medieval ages, Jewish people often faced persecution, but retained their religious and cultural identity. In the early 20th century, for a brief period under the French Mandate of Lebanon and 1926 Constitution of Lebanon , the Jewish community was constitutionally protected. However, after 1948, the security of Jews remained fragile, and the main synagogue in Beirut was bombed in the early 1950s. In the wake of the 1967 Arab–Israeli War , there was mass emigration of around 6,000 Lebanese Jews from Lebanon to Israel and Western countries. The Lebanese Civil War , which started in 1975, brought immense suffering for the remaining Lebanese Jewish community, and some 200 were killed in ensuing anti-Jewish pogroms , leading to a mass displacement of over 1,800 of the remaining Lebanese Jews. The final exodus of Lebanese Jews happened in August 1982, when Israeli forces invaded Lebanon and lay siege to Beirut. Over 100 Jewish families were displaced after Israeli forces bombarded the Jewish quarter, leaving it nearly abandoned, and shelled its synagogue which suffered extensive damage. "Lebanon."

The Lebanese Jews are traditionally a Mizrahi community living in the present-day country of Lebanon , mostly in and around the city of Beirut . Almost all of the community has emigrated to Israel , France , and North America . There are between 50 and 1,000 Jews now living in the country, compared to 24,000 in 1948. Emigration was not great even after Lebanon's first civil war 1958 , as Lebanese Jews were tightly integrated into society and felt no need to abandon their homeland. But emigration increased after Lebanon's 1975 civil war, and increased further after Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982.

Ethnic group The history of the Jews in Lebanon encompasses the presence of Jews in present-day Lebanon stretching back to biblical times.Following large-scale emigration following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War , and much more importantly the Lebanese Civil War , the vast majority of Lebanese Jews now live in Western countries and many live in Israel.As the latest census in Lebanon was conducted in 1932, there are virtually no statistics available.The discrepancy between the number of registered Lebanese Jews and the number often cited by locals and the Lebanese Jewish Community Council might be caused by the Lebanese registration policy relative to religion: a newborn's religion is that of his father, and this also applies to Jewish nationals despite Jewish customs .Islamic customs are patrilineal so the child of a Muslim man is a Muslim .
