Nguồn dữ liệu từ Wikipedia, hiển thị bởi DefZone.Net

Assyrian Jews (Hebrew: יהודים אַשּׁוּרִים, romanizedYehudim Ashurim)[1][failed verification] first appeared in the territory of Assyria when the Israelites were exiled to Assyria in approximately 740 BCE.[2][full citation needed] Jews have been continuously living alongside the Assyrian people in the territories of Assyria since the Assyrian exile.[3]

History

[edit]

Assyrian Jews are Aramaic-speaking Mizrahi Jewish communities that lived in the geographic region of Mesopotamia, the Zagros Mountains, roughly covering parts of northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey. Assyrian Jews lived as closed ethnic communities until they were expelled from Arab and Muslim states from the 1940s–1950s onward. The community largely speaks Judeo-Aramaic.[4][5][6] Many Assyrian Jews, especially the ones who hailed from larger cities of Iraq, went through a Sephardic Jewish blending during the 18th century.[7]

Speculation regarding the origins of Assyrian Jews involves two primary explanations: the descent from the Lost Tribes of Israel exiled by the Neo-Assyrian Empire and the conversion of ethnic Assyrians to Judaism, most notably the royal house of Adiabene. There is historical evidence supporting both ideas.[8][9]
