| | Aleppo - by Carol Miller Syria Gate |
| | The devastation of Aleppo by the Mongol invasions gave way to the seizing of control by the Mamluks of Egypt, who dominated the Islamic world from 1260 to 1516, and who, according to one historian of the time, "abandoned Aleppo to its fate". | | | As time passed, however, Aleppo began to recover, and to slowly evolve into one of the completely independent and unrelated neo-Hittite states -- that included Ain Dara and Tell Halaf as well as Halab -- while gradually developing a viable culture of considerable worth, until the catastrophic invasion of the "Sea Peoples" c. | | | According to myth or legend, Aleppo was called "Halab" or "White" because of Abraham, who stopped here on his way back from his journey along the Euphrates. |

| | The Crown of Aleppo |
| | A concerted campaign of pressure and persuasion was directed at the Aleppo community leaders, by the Israeli government, scholarly institutions, Jewish organization, and by members of the Aleppo Jewish diaspora, culminating in an official letter, issued in 1953, by Sepharadic Chief Rabbi Ouziel. | | | As Jewish refugees from Aleppo began to trickle into Israel, they told a different story: The details are still not clear, and at least four different Aleppo Jews (and one larcenous Syrian politician) have been credited with returning to the synagogue and rescuing the burning Keter. | | | The leaders of Aleppo's Jewish community staunchly dismissed invitations to remove it from their town for safekeeping. |
