Our Story

I am Joseph Jajati, a Syrian-American passionate about my heritage. Inspired by my grandfather, a former leader of Syria's Jewish community, I founded The Syrian Mosaic Foundation to unite Syrians and global supporters in celebrating our diversity and building a brighter future.

Our Mission

Since 2018, I've spent over 16 months in Syria, guiding visitors and fostering connections. Our journey has been featured by outlets like Alikhbaria Syria, highlighting a growing momentum for renewal. With a network of cultural leaders and allies, we are collaborating with all who share our vision to uplift Syria's image, economy, and heritage. We invite you to join us in this beautiful effort.
