However, he recently told WION in a report, “I will not leave my house. If I had gone, there would be no one to maintain the synagogue.”
His wife and their two daughters have lived in Israel since 1998, but Simantov has stayed at the long synagogue in Kabul, Afghanistan.
In a 2007 interview, Simantov stated that he does not speak Hebrew, and has no plans to move to Israel.
“Go to Israel? What business do I have there?”
Simantov prays daily and keeps kosher, killing animals himself. He was given permission to do so by Rabbi Kothari of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Yitzhak Levi, the last Jew in Afghanistan, died in 2005. The two were not famously together.
“I don’t talk to him, he’s the devil,” said Simantov. the new York Times in 2002. “A dog is better than that.”
Simantov believes that the Torah will be resurrected.
