An Anglo-Persian Jewish Society was formed in London to-day with the object of spreading a knowledge of Judaism and Cionism among its members who are drawn from the Persian Jewish Community in London. It is estimated that there are over a thousand such in North London alone, and they have three synagogues of their own.
Mr. C. Shemuel, the Chairman, said that a large number of members whose parents or they themselves came from Persia and Bokhara had joined the Society. It was intended to arrange lectures and other activities dealing with conditions in Persia, Bokhara, Palestine and Yemen. In addition, the Society will serve as a means of providing social intercourse for the members of the Persian Jewish Community in London.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
