The lost Torah of Kabul

The subject of this L.A. Times article, the self-described last Jew in Afghanistan, is understandably tight-lipped about why he stayed and how he's gotten by. But I bet there's a at least a book's worth of drama on what seems to be the most painful subject- whatever happened between him and the man who was, until his death in 2005, one of the last two Jews in Afghanistan. For starters:

"As their squabbling intensified, Levy reported his housemate to the Taliban-run government...The Taliban responded by seizing the holy scroll and jailing both men. Despite extensive efforts, the Torah was never found, the cousin said. "
