This exhibition tells the story of the Jewish community in Iran – an ancient narrative that has been transmitted from one generation to the next.
The story of Iranian Jewry, like the history of any group of people, can be told in countless ways. We have sought to tell this story, for the first time, in the form of an exhibition: to display the history and unique cultural experience of this community, and to present a narrative that will appear clear and compelling both to its members, who are intimately familiar with its traditions, and to visitors who know little or nothing about the Jews of Iran.
At a time when, for most part, Iran is associated in the public sphere with warfare and with a sense of great apprehension, it is especially interesting to direct our gaze to the cultural connection between the Jewish (and even the Israeli) sphere and the Persian sphere. From this perspective, we can examine the heterogeneous character of Iran, which has always constituted a mosaic of different ethnic communities, religions, cultures and languages.
