Am placerea sa v-il prezint pe simpaticul Zebolan Simanto, ... despre care se zice ca ar fi ultimul evreu din Afganistan. Mai era unul, Yitzhak Levy cu care se ciondanea Zvulun, dar a murit de batrinete in 2005.
Chiar daca ramin doar doi evrei intr-un loc plin de primejdii, ... tot se poate isca intre ei o cearta de pomina. Acum ca Zvulun a ramas singurel, ... sint convinsa ca-i simte lipsa batrinului vrajitor . Daca vreti sa stiti ce se mai intimpla cu el ..., iata:
"Every spring Zebolan Simanto, the last Jew in Afghanistan, receives a care package from New York City.
Simanto uses the matzos, grape juice and oil sent by New York's Afghan Jewish community to conduct the Seder, a meal eaten on the first evening of the Passover holiday to commemorate the enslavement of the Jews in ancient Egypt and their later escape into freedom.
Jack Abraham, the president of Congregation Anshei Shalom, the only Afghan synagogue in the United States, says he started sending the Passover packages to Kabul in 2003 after hearing that Simanto had no matzo for Passover.

Pe asta-l cheama Zvulun toata ziua (sic!). Intotdeauna numele ebraice sant pocite rau de necunoscatorii limbii.
Daca ma uit prin Noul Testament, e plin de nume schimbate si rasucite.
Capernaum este Kfar Nahum, Armageddon este Har Megiddo (Muntele sau Dealul Megiddo) si asa mai departe.
Pana si numele Isus provine dintr-un nume ebraic: Yeshu care vine de la Yeshua (salvare) sau Yehoshua.
aaa Roy, incercam sa-i arat lui Tirbushon, ... cum se pot intimpla uneori "paradoxal" lucrurile, ...
Singurii 2 evrei ultrareligiosi, intr-o zona de afghani musulmani, se certau intre ei de mama focului, ...
Fiecare si-a construit sinagoga "lui", ...
"Simanto's synagogue has a bird's nest in the ceiling light. Levy's has Hebrew inscriptions on the walls, testimony to the fact that it once was a place of worship ...
The Torah scrolls are, it appears, at the root of the hatred that grips the two men. The last Torah scroll was taken away by the Taliban and deposited at the interior ministry two years ago. Both men lay claim to the scroll, which they described as written by hand on deer skin and wrapped in silk, 500 years old and worth $2 million."
Au disparut ...
Se vor gasi probabil, peste vreo citeva sute de ani. Asa e la poporul "ales", ... sute de ani nu conteaza ...
Sehe,
eu cunosc povestea lor, i-am vazut la TV cum se certau intre ei.
Intr-o zi, fiind in oras intr-un magazin, am intrat putzin in vorba cu vanzatorul. Era originar din ... Afghanistan si ii cunoastea pe astia doi nebuni.
Lumea-i mica, tare mica.
Vad ca si numele de familie l-au pocit. Il cheama probabil Simantov (adica Semn bun)... dar i-au mancat ultima litera.
