About

Preserving Our Past. Inspiring Our Future.

Welcome to the Mashadi History Blog — a space dedicated to uncovering, preserving, and sharing the rich and often untold history of the Mashadi Jewish community.

From whispered stories passed down through generations to rare letters buried in archives, our history is vibrant, resilient, and deeply rooted in Jewish life across Iran, Israel, and the wider diaspora. This blog was born from a deep love of our heritage and a desire to reconnect with the legacy of those who came before us.

Here you’ll find:

• Original discoveries from historical documents, letters, and rabbinic correspondence
• Personal reflections and narratives that breathe life into our collective story
• Historical analysis that helps make sense of our journey—how we got here, and why it matters
• Resources for researchers and students interested in Sephardic and Iranian Jewish history

Whether you’re part of the Mashadi community, descended from Persian Jews, a history buff, or just curious, this blog is for you.

Our community has faced persecution, migration, and dramatic transformation—but through it all, we’ve held fast to our Torah, our values, and our sense of unity. The more we understand our roots, the more empowered we are to grow.

If you have stories, documents, names, or photos to contribute—or even questions you’ve always wondered about—please reach out. We’re building this story together.
