Shalom to everybody! This is the first time I rushed through that site of yours and I'm overwhelmed by what I found. Watching the pictures of Iraqi Jewish families, I'm facing myself and my family. I didn't know about my origins until two years ago and now we are tracing our roots successfully, as I can understand them better. Thank you so much.

Ildik, Germany,

I'm a theology student at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. For my final class project in the old Testament, I'm makinga study of the Book of Esther and a Purim celebration. That led me to your home page, to find songs, games food and other rituals and customs for the festival. The photos are wonderful.
Thank you for all the work you have done in preserving and sharing this heritage with us.
I pray God's blessing on you and your work.

Shalom Alechem.

Michael Kirche, Australia.
I am very impressed with your website as well as your link page.
I think it is wonderful that you are recording Iraqi Jewish history.
My father escaped from Baghdad and came to live in the United States, and I am very interested in learning more about my Sephardic/Mizrachi heritage. I would also like to contact other Jews of Iraqi ancestry...
Thank you.
