The Jews of Kurdistan are the ancient Eastern Jewish communities inhabiting the region known as Kurdistan in northern Mesopotamia; roughly covering parts of northwestern Iran; northern Iraq; northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey.
Their clothing and culture is similar to neighbouring Kurdish Muslims and Assyrians. Until their immigration to Israel in the 1940s and early 1950s; the Jews of Kurdistan lived as closed ethnic communities. The Jews of Kurdistan largely spoke Aramaic as a lingua franca; with some additionally speaking Kurdish dialects; in particular the Kurmanji dialect in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Today; the large majority of the Jews of Kurdistan and their descendants live in Israel. Pictures From History
