The video "Jews under Faisal (1921-1933)" explores the political and social dynamics experienced by the Jewish community in Iraq under King Faisal I. It delves into the historical context since 1258, leading up to the post-Ottoman era when the Sharifian solutions were implemented to establish a new kingdom. The video discusses the impact of the Jewish Nahda, a cultural revival, and examines the status of Judaism and Zionism during Faisal's reign. Under Faisal's rule, Iraqi Jews saw opportunities for societal participation, although broader regional political changes and the British Mandate influenced their experience. The video highlights key figures and documents, like the Constitution of Iraq and Gertrude Bell's letters, which shaped the period's narratives.
