Story highlights Jews have been living in Iran for more than 2,500 years 1,500 Jews call Esfahan home despite tensions between Iran and Israel Community leader: "Israel and Iran are countries, and we consider ourselves Iranian Jews"
The main synagogue is on Palestine Square, right in the heart of Iran's third largest city. There are public prayers several times a day -- sometimes with more than a hundred people in attendance.
The Jewish community in Iran does not hide its heritage. At the synagogue, Michael Malakon leads the prayer service. He says he is proud of his Jewish identity. And even in a country that is so hostile towards Israel, Malakon says he can practice freely and that he has many Muslim friends.
"I hang around with all kinds of young people and I have a lot of Muslim friends," Malakon tells CNN after finishing the noon prayer on a Monday. About 20 people were in attendance, usually from local businesses around the synagogue. None of them tried to hide the fact that they were Jewish -- and inside the synagogue the Star of David is proudly displayed in many places, alongside passages from the Torah.
There have been Jews in Iran for more than 2,500 years. Many left the country after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 that brought Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to power. Khomeini said Iran wanted to destroy Israel, but he also issued a fatwa, a religious decree, saying that Iranian Jews were different to those in Israel and should be considered an integral part of the Islamic Republic.
Sion Mahgrefte is the head of the Jewish community in Esfahan. He declined to comment directly on political matters, especially in the current heated environment, but he did say that the members of his community felt very much at home in Iran.
"Israel and Iran are countries," he said. "And we consider ourselves Iranian Jews, not Israeli Jews. So the hostilities between Israel and Iran do not affect us."
There is even a Jewish representative in Iran's parliament. And aside from the vibrant Jewish community in Esfahan -- there are 13 synagogues in the city -- there are also several Orthodox Cathedrals representing a sizable Christian community.
Most of Esfahan's Jews are business people. In the center of town there is a shopping mall, known to people here as the "Jewish Passage" because so many businesses are Jewish-owned. When our crew arrived there they found Muslim and Jewish shop owners joking around.
One of them is Said Shemyon, who owns a clothing store. His friends call him "Mordechai," and he showed us some Hebrew prayer books he always keeps in the store.

In the classical music field, multimedia has become a tired buzzword for something purportedly unconventional, usually involving video projections. But the PostClassical Ensemble really did offer multimedia in its long, packed, content-rich concert as part of the Kennedy Centers Iberian Suite festival Tuesday night.
Its not just that the artists offered projections of images and videos, along with the relevant texts, on the back wall as an attractive accompaniment to the performances. Its that they offered so many different kinds of performance, at a consistently high level.
The program was called Iberian Mystics: The Confluence of Faiths, and it set out to explore the effects of Christian, Jewish and Muslim influences on Spanish music and culture a program ambitious enough to constitute a whole festival in itself. But concerns that this was going to be too much like a college lecture given the slides and the presence of a narrator (Clark Young) were mostly allayed by the performances, starting with members of Cathedra, the Washington National Cathedrals resident professional chorus, singing motets by Toms Luis de Victoria.
In the course of the evening, the audience also got a trio playing folk Sephardic songs on period instruments, an Arabic music ensemble with a tabla player who almost stole the show, emotive readings of texts by everyone from Teresa of Avila to Rumi, Cervantes to Lorca, and even a flamenco dancer. It was an impressive array, and, as far as presenting a wide cross-section of work in meaningful short excerpts, it pretty much blew the festivals opening-night presentation last week out of the water. (Okay, its not a competition.)
All of the color and variety slightly overshadowed the performances by the PostClassical Ensemble itself, although the group sounded in fine form under its engaging music director, Angel Gil-Ordez, and offered satisfying chunks of straight-up classical music to show, more or less, how composers have tried to assimilate all this local color.
The second, slow movement of Manuel de Fallas Keyboard Concerto, with Pedro Carbon as soloist, didnt quite live up to its billing as, in Ravels words, the greatest chamber music of the 20th century, with its strummed, emphatic statements from keys and strings.
[The PostClassical Ensemble: An alternative to conventional classical performance.]
The Trio Sefardi (Susan Gaeta on vocals, Tina Chancey on strings and Howard Bass on lute) gave such lovely and luminous performances of folk songs that the ensuing orchestrations of Six Sephardic Songs by the 20th-century composer Joaquin Nin-Culmell were slightly anticlimactic. The soprano Mariana Mihai-Zoeter had a hard-edged, slightly strident voice that didnt engage as much as Gaetas compelling, soft-grained one (although her gown was as beautiful as those in the festival fashion display in the Kennedy Center lobby).
And the first flamenco dance, executed by Sona Olla with foot-stamping abandon backed up by the guitar and vocals of a trio of flamenco musicians, was so intense and earthy and real that adding dance to the Falla excerpts that followed seemed like gilding the lily, or watering down the experience, fine though the orchestras playing was.
