Maureen Nehedar connects to her Persian Jewish roots through music

Maureen Nehedar fled from Esfahan, Iran to Israel when she was just two years old but her connection to Jewish Persian music which was passed down in her family from generation to generation, still lives deep within her soul. Iran was once home to one of the world's largest Jewish communities numbering 80,000 on the eve of the Iranian Revolution (1978). Today, there are less than 8,000 Jews left in Iran. The thousands of Persian Jews who escaped to Israel and other countries around the world continue to celebrate their Persian culture and roots. Maureen is just one of them and this is her story.
