Bukharan Jews: Uzbekistan's Ancient Community
This episode explores the 2,500-year history of the Bukharan Jews, from their origins in the Persian period to their role as Silk Road merchants, their life under the Emirate of Bukhara, and their fate under Soviet rule. We visit the Gombaz-e-Yahudi synagogue, discuss the Bukhori dialect, and trace the mass emigration after the USSR collapsed. A story of cultural resilience at the crossroads of Central Asia.
