Multiple web search results report the discovery of a 7th-century synagogue in Side, Antalya, Turkey, found beneath a modern house. The claim specifies the excavation by Professor Feriştah Alanyalı of Anadolu University, which is consistent with the context of the reports, although the specific professor's name is not repeated across all sources. The core facts (7th-century synagogue, Side, under a house) are corroborated by multiple independent web reports.

Multiple web search results reference the discovery of a marble colonette with a menorah during a rescue excavation in ancient Attalia (Kaleiçi, Antalya). The claim accurately names the key elements (menorah, colonette, Kaleiçi, Antalya) and the publication context (Adalya, 2020), which is supported by the search results.

Multiple sources confirm that Rabbi Mendy Chitrik is the founder and chairman of the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States (ARIS). Furthermore, multiple sources confirm his role as the Rabbi for the Ashkenazi community in Istanbul, Turkey.

The list of countries where the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States has rabbis active is consistently reported across multiple independent sources (cross-reference, web search results), confirming the breadth of the organization's network.
