The Jews in Iraq are considered one of the oldest Jewish sects in the entire world, as their presence dates back to the era of the last Assyrian Empire 911-612 BC, following several campaigns carried out by the Assyrians against Palestine, liberating it from the Jews and transferring those in it to remote mountainous places in northern Iraq. When the Babylonian Chaldeans eliminated the Assyrians and established their state in Babylon 612-359 BC, one of their most important actions was the elimination of the Kingdom of Judah in Palestine, so its Jews were taken captive to Babylon at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled between 605-562 BC .
Since the Babylonian era, the Jewish presence in Iraq has been continuous and continuous until the Iraqi Jewish community occupied a prominent position among all other Jewish communities, as it became in the era of the Talmud a center for Judaism and a religious and spiritual guide for the Jews of the diaspora in the whole world for successive eras, through its famous scientific centers in the Daa River and Tire. And Bumbadita. Hence, the sect tried to develop among themselves the feeling that Mesopotamia was the country that God had chosen as their homeland. This idea strengthened and spread among Jewish scholars, especially in the third century AD. The sect also developed layers of scholars and Torah scholars who explained many points and issues. The Mishnah (oral law) until these explanations and interpretations gathered from generation to generation to form what is called the Babylonian Talmud.
