Tauris, 2011. 279 pages.)	2012.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1205	47	53	Although Amanat, similar to many Iranian Jewish scholars such as Amnon Netzer, acknowledges that the “Miseries of a Jewish Life” (chapter 7) in Iran forced many Jews to step out of their traditional faith, unlike these scholars he views such conversions as a source of personal pride, not as a stain on his family history that has to be explained away. Chapter 6, “Rayhan Rayhani: A Peddler Living Through Critical Times,” is a rare account of Jewish life in the early 1800s.	cache/ajiss-1179.pdf	txt/ajiss-1179.txt
