  • There are roughly 45-thousand Persian Jews living here in Los Angeles. That's larger than the community in Iran. Not only has this community made an historical impact, but it's paving the way for future generations.

    I think she meant you should marry a fellow Jew. The Iranian community is huge in Los Angeles and you can be friends with one another but you can't marry them if they're Muslim. It works the other way round too.

    Why in the world do these people say Persian when they're actually Iranian I know it used to be called Persia but you know come up to present time it would be the same thing as calling Israelis Palestinian because it used to be called Palestine it's ridiculous!

      The country is called Iran the people are called Iranian there's no Persian. Now the country used to be called Persia and the people were called Persians.

      Persian are people who live in Iran that represent 60% of Iran. The word Persia comes from Greek and people that live in iran dont call themselves Perians. Just iranians.

      We call our selves as Persians because you know that if you call your self “iranian”.. you’ll be disrespected by many... as you know what our shitty government did to the western countries... now if you call your self Persian... people don’t really know much about the word “Persian”... so they go with it.

      @mabvi That’s what I thought was the reason for Persians in general (the ones I have met in my experience), but I always thought Persian Jews used Persian instead of Iranian because of the German-Iranian relationship during the 1940’s that caused the Shah to change the name from Persia to Iran. It’s rooted in a bad history for them, but I might be wrong. I don’t know the history that well

    Oh Dear Lord; I must say fascinating people. Persians so divided, though religion has the least to do with it. No offense, but I really like to depict how world would had been like it Cyrus didn't let Jews to go back to Judah.

      Why would any sane Persian Jew be loyal to Iran after 1979?? Iran is literally anti Semitic and an Islamic sharia state. It is one of the reasons for why most Iranian/Persian Jews are ultra conservatives in America.

    As a persian : Jews are Jews - and will never be Persians. You can call them " iranian citizens but not persians. Their welcome to live in Iran and among Iranians, but to call them selfs persians is a huge sweet lie.
    And by the way , if ure persian, why can you not marry other persians ? so apprently your jewish identity is separeted from the persian identity, and this kind of tribal faschism is typical arab jewish semitic :)
    If ure a jew with orgins from IRAN - dont call ure self Persian plz.

      +Alex before your arab or mongolian or tartar father came to reside in Persia, Jews were already citizens of Iran. Remember the only original persians are zoroasterians and Jews remained loyal to Persia. They do not intermarry because of religious obligation as well as the concern not to contaminate their precious culture but people who did not appreciate it.Remember you so called Persian could not even dare to show your PErsian name because you are not proud of it and call your self Alex!

      ***** I have no religion. And I have Iranian origins. And I think its ok to be called a Persian Jew. They speak the Persian language and they identify themselves with the Persian culture, since Judaism once was part of it. In my opinion, all Religions are more or less stupid, but I will accept some of them anyway when they help to enrich our culture.

    • @poya753

      ***** it is none of your bussiness what believers of other religions think or believe or eat. Like I said you are not even a real Persian. If so I have a persian message for you. and do not be proud of Persian wisdom which is bringing mullahs or being stupid like ghajar time or hanging innocents in public and going and watching it like a theater. also your made up islamo persian culture was to disrespect other religoons and call armenians: koon nashoste and jews Najes and do not let them walk on street when it was raining. By the way If you are Persian I have a persina message for you: in ghadr ahmagh hasti ke aslan liaghate harf zadan bahatam nist. az oon irani hayeh khar savari ke 2 rooze be barekate akhoonda, ye poole dozdie babayeh jakesheshoon ferestadateshoon oroopa o 2 kalame englisi naghes yad gereftio miai zer mizani. hala esmet mikhad nima bashe ya mamad. antar
