The Asmara Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת של אסמרה, Arabic: معبد أسمرا) is the only surviving remnant of the Jewish community in the country of Eritrea.[1] It includes a Jewish cemetery, classrooms and a main sanctuary.[2] All aspects of the synagogue today are taken care of by Samuel Cohen, an Asmara native who remained in the country to look after it.[3]
