UPDATE 2: And now Ha'aretz is reporting Gerbi has encountered relocked doors and threats against him.
As I noted recently, the last Jewish resident of Libya left in 2003, though the revolutionaries have been in contact with the Libyan Jewish diaspora.
Now here is a gallery of pictures (note: some rights reserved) of the Dar al-Bishi synagogue in Tripoli, post revolution, a last monument to a once significant community.
Thanks to several people who linked to this.
