Paper long abstract:
The presence of Jews in Iran has always had its ups and downs. Naturally, political and social changes have influenced their way of life and the interaction of religious minorities in the urban context and neighborhoods of Tehran. Politics rules society. The architecture of religious buildings of religious minorities, on the one hand, influences the urban context and, on the other hand, is influenced by the socio-political conditions and structures that govern society. Cities are places for religious presentations and celebrations that form part of urban consumer cultures and contribute to constructing urban identities and city images. Jews in Iran are recognized minorities that are scattered throughout the country. This study investigates the relationship between urban spaces and religious heritage , especially synagogues in Tehran, the capital of Iran.
