During the 1920s and early 1930s, Jews were conspicuous in Iraqi civic life and initially played a prominent role in building the new state, including the further development of the commercial, postal and judicial system, thus entering the state bourgeoisie of civil servants that was being formed in those early years. This study will focus on the interplay of tradition (and Jewish orthopraxy) with Jewish modernities: the latter are reflected both in the biographical circumstances of family members, and features of life inside a Jewish house in the Christian quarter of Baghdad. This study records Baghdadi Jewish domestic modernization, along with the retention of traditional architectural features, and the ways in which these processes were expressed spatially in this single Jewish household
