Iran's proud but discreet Jews
By Frances Harrison
BBC News, Tehran
"Yazd Synagogue, Iran
The Jewish presence dates back nearly 3,000 years
Although Iran and Israel are bitter enemies, few know that Iran is home to the largest number of Jews anywhere in the Middle East outside Israel.
About 25,000 Jews live in Iran and most are determined to remain no matter what the pressures - as proud of their Iranian culture as of their Jewish roots."
