In this Feb. 27, 2015 photo, Jamaican Jewish community leader Ainsley Henriques poses for a photo on the sand covered floor of Sha’are Shalom, Jamaica's last synagogue, in Kingston. The dwindling congregation of the historic Kingston temple is trying to preserve their history and attract tourists who can appreciate it. In Jamaica in the 1800s, there were as many as eight synagogues and roughly 2,500 Jews, including quite a few who had a notable influence on civic life. (AP Photo/David McFadden)
