Description
Journey into the heart of the Silk Road as we explore Judeo-Farsi, the linguistic tapestry that has unified the Jewish communities of Persia for over 2,500 years. In this episode, we unpack how the "Jewry of Elam" adopted the Persian language following the Babylonian Exile, yet maintained their distinct identity by writing it in Hebrew characters.
