Afghanistan, which has recently been in the headlines under very difficult conditions, had a flourishing Jewish community in the not-too-distant past. One of the rabbonim of the community spoke to Yated Ne'eman about life there. Today the Taliban have instituted a reign of terror, but in the past Jews sat and learned every day in shuls at the end of their working day, Torah being paramount. The mesirus nefesh displayed by the Jews was amazing. The community included talmidei chachomim. Today there are no halachic Jews in the country, but there are rumors, backed up by some evidence (to be treated with caution) about a connection between Afghan tribes and the Ten Tribes.
