Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Zablon Simintov (b. 1959, Turkmenistan) is a Turkmen-Afghan carpet trader and the caretaker of the only synagogue in Kabul. As of 2008[update], he is believed to be the sole remaining Jewish person in Afghanistan. His name has also been transcribed in English as Zebulon Simentov, Zabolon Simentov and Zabolon Simantov.The Jewish population in Afghanistan once numbered around 5,000, but most emigrated to either Israel or the United States. Simintov had lived with the second last remaining Jewish man in Afghanistan, Ishaq Levin, who died on January 26, 2005, aged around 80. The story of Simintov and Levin was the basis for a British play. Simintov deprecated Levin in an interview with British journalist Martin Fletcher. Levin had initially welcomed Simintov but the two fell out permanently when Simintov offered the caretaker help to emigrate to Israel to join the rest of the former Kabul community. Simintov is adamant that he made the suggestion only as he thought Kabul was too cold for the old man, but the older man took umbrage, thinking that Simintov was trying to take over the synagogue.
