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.

Jews Against Franco (1936-1939)
Leah kvetches all the time"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."
