(Ynet News) Uri Misgav - Yediot Ahronot has revealed the amazing rescue of 11 Bibles, some dating back 1,000 years, from Damascus. The Jewish community had guarded them meticulously, and the Israeli government decided to bring the books to Israel in 1995. The defense establishment, governmental organizations and immigrants from Syria took part in the secret operation. The ancient Bibles made their way to Israel from Syria via New York inside a grey container, without anyone guessing its priceless contents. The mystery surrounding the books' journey from Damascus has not been fully cleared, and some parts of the story cannot be published. The operation "cost a lot of money," said Eliyahu Hasson, chairman of the community of Damascus Jews in Israel, who served as director-general of the Transportation Ministry at the time. "Whoever did it acted wisely and knocked on the right doors." 2011-10-06 00:00:00Full Article
