In 1839, Muslims attacked the Jews of Meshhed, murdering 36 of
them, and forcing the conversion of the rest. While some managed to
escape across the Afghan border, and some turned into true
believing Muslims, the majority adopted Islam only outwardly, while
secretly adhering to their Jewish faith. Jadid al-Islam is the
fascinating story of how this community managed to survive, at the
risk of their lives, as crypto-Jews in an inimical Shi'i Muslim
environment. Based on unpublished original Persian sources and
interviews with members of the existing Meshhed community in
Jerusalem and New York, this study documents the history,
traditions, tales, customs, and institutions of the Jadid
al-Islam-""New Muslims."
