The Iraqi Jews (5) یھود العراق: The Babylonian Jewish Heritage Centre, Or Yehuda - Israel

By the time I arrived to the city of Or Yehuda, I could hear very loud arabic music. I noticed a man greets an old man by saying:

- Shalom, ashlonak? Ash ako ash mako?
(Shalom, how are you? What is new?)

The old man replied by saying:
- Shalom yama´wwad, wenak anta? Wallah ana za´lan minnak.
(Shalom pal, where have you been? By God I'm angry with you...)

Therefore, and at once I changed the name of the city into OR IRAQ, because the culture and traditions of this city was more like Iraqi culture.

I was at the Iraqi museum, I went out to take pictures and film the guests outside. I was amazed to notice all these Iraqis were very shy. They were even talking in very low voices. They were shy with strangers and this made it impossible for me to take their pictures or film them freely.
Beriefly, these Iraqis were very nicely brought up and they have very much respect for kurds and for Kurdistan.
