Even if the news are given in a newspaperly language, or just because of it, this story is gravely heart breaking.
And today I made some visits to Persian Carpets stores, on my way back home from one place to another.
Met a man whose parents came to Israel back in 1948 or 1950. He speaks Farsi but cannot write or read.
Was telling me there are hundreds of thousands of Jewish people in Iran, and that they feel well and content there. He gave me the name of a center in nearby Holon city, The Koresh Center for the Jewish Persian Culture.
Koresh was the Iranian king who in the year 538 BC proclaimed a call allowing the Jewish people to return to the land of Zion and rebuild Jerusalem - from where they were deported with the destruction of the first Temple.
The prophet Yeshayahu calls Koresh, "the Messiah".
Such a person could be helpful today in Iran, or am I mistaken from that far away?
