About Bukharan Jews People
Bukharan Jews, also called Bukharian Jews, are a Jewish community from Central Asia, historically centered in the oasis cities of Bukhara and Samarkand in present-day Uzbekistan and in Tajikistan. They speak Bukhori, a Judeo-Tajik dialect of the Persian language within the Indo-European family, traditionally written in Hebrew script. After large migrations the majority now live in Israel and the United States, where Queens in New York City hosts one of the largest communities.
Society and subsistence
For centuries Bukharan Jews were woven into the commercial life of the Silk Road cities, working as dyers, silk and cotton weavers, textile merchants, barbers and musicians. They were especially associated with indigo dyeing and with the classical Shashmaqam musical tradition of Central Asia, in which Bukharan Jewish performers played a leading role. Community life was tightly knit and religiously observant, organized around the synagogue, the extended family and distinctive Bukharan rites and cuisine. Periods of forced conversion under earlier rulers produced the chala, crypto-Jews who later returned to open practice.
Appearance and adornment
Bukharan Jews share the Persianate and Central Asian appearance of their homeland, typically with olive skin, dark hair and brown eyes. Traditional festive dress is striking: men wear long robes of striped or ikat silk, the joma or chapan, tied with a sash and topped by an embroidered skullcap. Women wear flowing dresses of vivid atlas and adras ikat silk, with gold thread embroidery, coral and gold jewelry and embroidered caps or headscarves. Gold-embroidered garments in particular became a hallmark of Bukharan ceremony. In daily life most now wear modern clothing, reserving the silk robes for weddings and holidays.
