Men's Club Breakfast with Danielle Moghadam – The Mashhadi Jews of Iran

The Jews of Mashhad hail from the most religious city of Iran, in the north east of the country. In the mid-nineteenth century, they were forced to convert to Islam. They continued to live as anusim (crypto-Jews) for nearly a century. The effects of this forced conversion continue to be felt in the community today.

Danielle Moghadam hails from Brooklyn, NY. She has a Masters in Middle Eastern Studies from Tel Aviv University and a BA in International Relations & Italian from the State University of New York at New Paltz. She previously worked at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. She is new to West Hartford and lives with her husband, Rami, and son, Lior. jan
