SPOTLIGHT ON
the Bukharian Jewish Community
in America
- http://www.ujafedny.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=7121
- This article, published
by UJA Federation of New York, brings us the story of
Bukharian Jews and
their attempt
to adapt
to American society while keeping their heritage alive.
One such effort led to the establishment of a Bukharian
Jewish
Museum in Queens that contains thousands of artifacts
and exhibits that convey the history and home life of the
community.
(Visit to the museum is by appointment only – contact
information is provided)
- http://www.bukharianjews.com/
- This site is dedicated to promoting Bukharian identity, and
appears to be directed primarily to members of the Bukharian-Jewish
community. It provides information about the history, culture,
ethnicity and achievements of Bukharian Jews throughout
America and the world. One can enjoy articles, photos and
music of the community, past and present. If you are interested
in learning the Bukharian Jewish language, you might even
want to take the online lessons that are offered.
- http://www.bukharian.com/
- Similarly to the previous site, Bukharian .com is intended
to create an environment where Jews of Bukharian origin
can communicate with one another, share ideas, advice and
humor, while learning about their heritage, history, customs
and Jewish identity.

- Written by an individual of Bukharian descent, this website
includes a well-organized historical background of the
Jewish Community of Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
