Its not easy being a Jewish MP in an assembly that routinely calls for the destruction of Israel, but Iranian Jews rights are protected by law.
Theyre even exempt from the ban on alcohol, although discretion is advised. Irans Jews have been here nearly 3,000 years. In 1979 most fled the Islamic Revolution to the US, fearing a pogrom which never came. Robert, a real estate agent has come back from LA to look for an Iranian wife and Shabbat prayers on a Friday night is the place to be. But times have changed. Hes looking to marry young, and most girls think his age too high a price to pay for a ticket to the US and freedom. Behind closed doors Jews throw off Islamic dress and party freely to celebrate the birth of a boy. Soraya, baby Ramtins aunt, says he can still expect a life of discrimination. They prefer to have Muslim people in their universities or in their factories. But for many Jews here, Iran is in their blood and Islamic fundamentalism will not drive them out.

InOverOurHeads, the first unscripted Jewish reality television series, is now on the first global network devoted to what it means to be Jewish, JLTV – the Jewish Life Television Network. InOverOurHeads sneaks a peek at the crazy lives of a few close friends. Coping with the realities of their restless existence as young, Jewish parents, they debate the absurd, laugh at convention, and reevaluate their ideals in a humorous, yet introspective way. Maintaining a decorum not quite fitting for shul [synagogue, the topics wander into sensitive areas such as marriage, parenting, religion, gender issues, and education. The discussions are honest and irreverent, often with a deep spiritual undertone. They rip apart stereotypes of observant Jews – although like most Jews, they hardly ever agree. InOverOurHeads airs Tuesdays at 8pm Eastern and 9pm Pacific, broadcasting nationwide on DirecTV channel 366, in select metropolitan areas via nationwide affiliations with Time Warner and Comcast, and online at www.jltv.tv. (Please see www.inoverourheads.com for additional air times.) JLTV currently reaches 26 million homes and is anticipated to expand to 40 million homes by year end.
