Iranian Jews Get E-Mourning Website
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   Dec 26,2006
Iranian Jews are making use of the internet, to mourn the departed. Beheshtieh.com allows the community to visit the site, sort through photographs of graves from Beheshtieh Cemetery, to find their dear departed relatives or friends.

The site, developed by L.A. resident Shahram Avraham Farzan, helps find the final resting place for generations of Tehran's Jewish people, systematically listed, with photographs. By providing a platform for e- mourning, the portal allows the Iranian jewish community to pay their respects, from across the globe.

Sam Kermanian, secretary general of the Los Angeles-based Iranian American Jewish Federation, says the web site has stirred a lot of excitement because, many members of the community for various reasons, feel limited to going back to Iran.
