Written by Our Forefathers, Preserved by Us

For centuries, handwritten manuscripts have carried the heart of Chaldean Christianity—its prayers, teachings, and sacred traditions. Preserved through persecution and passed down through generations, these texts have long connected us to our faith, language, and identity.

أنبياء اليهود في بلاد الرافدين – مواقع ومراقد وقصص واساطير – الجزء الأول

لا تخلو صفحة من صفحات تأريخ العراق الحديث إلا وتجري الاشارة والاشادة بتأريخ ودور اليهود العراقيين في اغناء جوانب كثيرة ورائدة في مجتمع وحياة العراقيين لكن سياسة الانظمة، والتعصب والكراهية فعلت فعلتها تجاه هذا المكون الاصيل فكان الاضطهاد والتسقيط والتهجير والملاحقة، وجرى وبتعمد تام تغييب تأريخ يهود العراق في القرن العشرين، حتى بدأت هذه الحالة الشاذة تتساقط امام تطور المجتمعات، ، وانتشار المعرفة، والثقافة. واليوم لم يعد هناك وجود ليهود العراق في وطنهم الأم، ولكن إرثهم الحضاري ومزاراتهم ورموزهم ما زالت موجودة.
