In the first of the 2026 Doikayt Speaker Series, Faith Jones discusses how the history of self-censorship and in-group political repression has shaped Vancouver's Jewish community and continues, in new forms, to the present day. This speaker series is part of the Peretz Centre's Discovering Doikayt initiative. We acknowledge the support of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation with funding provided by the Government of Canada.

"In 1839, a violent uprising in the Iranian city of Mashhad forced the Jewish population to publicly convert to Islam. Many families continued practicing Judaism secretly for generations, becoming known as crypto-Jews. Their story is one of resilience, hidden identity and cultural survival. It's a remarkable chapter of Jewish history that remains little known outside the Persian Jewish diaspora.
Though set in the past, the story of Mashhad resonates today as conversations about Iran and its people often overlook the complexity of the country’s history and the diverse communities who have lived there."

"As headlines bombard our feeds and the world watches events in Iran, Israel and the larger Middle East unfold with speed, educators - both Jewish and non-Jewish - are facing urgent and complex questions from their students. What is happening? Why does it matter? How does it connect to the Jewish people and to the United States?
Moments like this are not only international ruptures to be viewed passively. They are teachable moments."
