The culture governing on the Iranian Jews community is the product of a process that has been continuing for centuries and undoubtedly the activity of every one of us specially in the past decade has played a significant role in forming our relations together. Though with the pass of time, our culture is developed and renovated, but it is a heritage that roots in the traditions, rituals and conventions founded throughout the years and undoubtedly the role of past generations in forming these relations is inevitable. Today, our cultural and social conditions reveal a process that on one hand roots in the behavior of our ancestors and on the other hand looks at the actions taken by the young generation.
The world and consequently the environment in which we live, are constantly developing and renewing and every day willingly or unwillingly we face with modern phenomena and processes. These continuous developments that have begun from the beginning of man social life and is still continuing, is formed on a foundation consisting of rituals, traditions and conventions we have inherited from past generations and the more is the distance between past generations and today's world, the more prominent is their responsibility in forming our cultural conditions. We well know that in a fast-changing world we, as monotheists, stick to a series of principles that are the historical heritage of monotheism and they can prevent the downfall of our moral and value systems and in this way prevent our social conditions to get into trouble. There is no need to mention that if we do not stick to a fixed criterion and scale, or even worse if we now and then present new interpretations from the principles based on our personal and group interests, we will get confused and alienated in the process of developments . If today we welcome those behaviors and actions that satisfy our personal and social interests and consider them as unquestionable values and principles , we must bear in mind that after a while these values shall become part of the common law of our society and soon there will be a time that with the change of the position of people in management of society, the judgment criterion will be with us. If we ourselves have established the institutional supervision and centrality, and defined a key role for it, then we have to stick to such supervision and key role, unless our principles and criteria have been defined only based on the interests and situation of a specific group, and this is the time we have detached from one of the fundamental instructions of our religion, "love your own kind as you do yourself". Though rendering a different and sometimes contradictory definition of the principles based on personal and group interests is a recognized method that has long been employed by selfish people and egotists, those for whom self and egotism and self-interests are the base and key for every assessment have to regularly review their most principal values. Those who never tolerate the smallest objections and softest critics, tomorrow they will take the gesture of a new-thinker and redefine the principles, as though they believe the Iranian Jews Community does not have a short-time historical memory! Unfortunately, there are still some people that instead of a logical discussion and intellectual thinking and caring about the interests of the Jewish Iranian Society, they want to impose themselves to the new world based on their personal relations, follower-nourishment and tribal conflicts. But today with the renovation of thoughts that has been formed based on the intellectual growth and intellectual maturity of the Jewish Iranians Society, there is no need for those who claim they can cure the problems of our community. As an inseparable part of the Iranian nation, the Jewish Iranians like before and based on their own and their country's interests and relying on the Judaism divine values as well as Iranian national values are easily able to build their future in the best form possible.
