History of Jews in Iran
The beginnings of Jewish history in Iran date back to late biblical times. The biblical books of Isaiah, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Chronicles, and Esther contain references to the life and experiences of Jews in Persia.
In the book of Ezra, the Persian kings are credited with permitting and enabling the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their Temple; its reconstruction was affected “according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia” (Ezra 6:14).
This great event in Jewish history took place in the late sixth century BCE, by which time there was a well-established and influential Jewish community in Persia.
Jews who migrated to ancient Persia mostly lived in their own communities. The Persian Jewish communities include the ancient (and until the mid-20th century still extant) communities not only of Iran, but of parts of what is now Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, northwestern India, Kirgizstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan
Some of the communities have been isolated from other Jewish communities, to the extent that their classification as “Persian Jews” is a matter of linguistic or geographical convenience rather than actual historical relationship with one another. During the peak of the Persian Empire, Jews are thought to have comprised as much as 20% of the population. [8]
According to Encyclopædia Britannica: “The Jews trace their heritage in Iran to the Babylonian Exile of the 6th century BC and, like the Armenians, have retained their ethnic, linguistic, and religious identity.”[9]
But Library of Congress’s country study on Iran states that “Over the centuries the Jews of Iran became physically, culturally, and linguistically indistinguishable from the non-Jewish population. The overwhelming majority of Jews speak Persian as their mother language, and a tiny minority, Kurdish.”
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hi
I want to facilitate dzheremi, **planten and others **to trace the Lost Sheep of Israel or Lost Ten Tribes of Israel to whom Jesus was sent as mentioned in the NTBible and Quran also says Jesus was but a Messenger of God Allah to the Israelis or Jews, not to the Gentiles as mislead by Paul, in my opinion.
I love Jesus and Buddha as I love Moses, his mother and Mary.
Thanks
