Pictured here, Jameh Mosque in Isfahan. Isfahan, the third largest city in Iran, was
home to some 1,200 Jews in 2009. Now, fewer than 100 families remain.
A Jewish woman was stabbed to death in Isfahan, Iran, in what her family said was a religiously motivated crime.
Menashe Amir, an Iranian Jewry expert, told The Times of Israel the 57-year-old woman, identified as Tuba N., was killed Monday, allegedly by her Muslim neighbors, who had been trying to drive the family from their home and confiscate their property, which is adjacent to a mosque.
"The religious radicals even expropriated part of the house and attached it to the mosque's courtyard," Amir said. "The Jewish family appealed to the courts ... despite the threats to their lives."
