As the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to deepen, Jewish life continues in both countries.
The Jewish kehilla in Iran, headed by HaRav Yehudah Gerami, held a party for children in a sukkah on Chol Hamoed, and various Sukkos events were held in several cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz.
Israeli media reports on Monday said that seven Israelis were arrested last month for alleged espionage for Iran – the most severe espionage case ever seen in Israeli history.

Do you notice alot less food than America 🇺🇸.
for their sakes, we need regime change in iran. now.
Would Iran exchange an equal portion of land from Israel to Iran? If yes, would children dance in the same sukah 75 years from now?
Strange selection of videos to post.
Fools. No jew should be anywhere but Israel today
“strange”…I would more likely say it’s shameless propaganda and can’t understand why a frum site would allow this from Iran
There are about 8,300 Jews living in Iran today, victimized by a fundamentalist Shiite government that hates them like poison. The older Iranians who had been born and raised in a semi-democratic country are dying out. So, as time goes by, the Jews are becoming more and more isolated.
What are conditions like for our brothers and sisters there? Well, for starters, the government has shut down the remaining Hebrew schools and all Jewish religious instruction in the country. Representatives of the Jewish community are required to condemn Israel from time to time in the Islamic Consultative Assembly. While they do so, the Muslim representatives feel it necessary to shame them further by catcalling, shouting, and spitting at them. Members of the Jewish community, young and old, are compelled to protest against Israel whenever the government demands it.
Why do the Jews stay in such a nightmarish place? Because there are restrictions on families leaving en masse. If one person leaves, there is fear of retaliation against their kin.
The images featured in this article have been carefully orchestrated by the government. It is vaguely reminiscent of the so-called beautification of Theresienstadt orchestrated by the Waffen-SS prior to the Red Cross visit in June 1944. Similarly, the leaders of Iran want to flaunt their pretended tolerance to the world thereby denying Israel her moral imperative.
a video of women dancing??
I know that some here will straight away start commenting stupid comments, but the fact is – judging by the name of this site, is that it is a frum place.
The video’s should be properly checked before uploading.
And, @tirtza, it is not “shameless” at all.
I salute YWN for this.
Iranian Jewry has been very much cut off from the rest of the world for too long, and doing this will bring them closer, and make others outside more aware of the community there, which can only bring good.
@Sara Rifka,
why so they should be in a much bigger danger?
Or maybe because you believe in the zionist idol and not hashems protection?
GO check the statistics (no not from zionist generated polls), it is a bigger danger to live in the zionist state than anywhere else in the world.
