Description
This anthology bridges a critical gap in Central Asian and Afghan Jewish studies by translating foundational Hebrew-language scholarship into English for the first time. Featuring articles by eight renowned scholars, the volume examines the interconnected histories of Jewish communities across Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Eastern Iran. Accompanied by scholarly introductions, including an essay on Persian-language and Pashto-language sources, this collection enables the global academic community to engage more fully with Hebrew-language scholarship on Persianate Jewish life, migration patterns, religious practices, and leadership structures during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
