Description		    Regulations of the Bukharan community in Jerusalem. Jews from this ancient community in Central Asia began to emmigrate to the Holy Land in the beginning of the 19th century, but large groups of Bukharan Jews who immigrated to and settled in Israel are known only from the 1880s. In the early 1890s the quarter called Rehovot was established by them in Jerusalem (to this day it is known as the "Bukharan Quarter"), which was considered at the time one of the most magnificent quarters of the New City. Groups of Bukharan immigrants, some of whom had managed to bring money with them and were among the wealthy of Jerusalem at that time, continued to arrive in Erez Israel until the outbreak of World War I. The number of Bukharan Jews who arrived in this first Bukharan Jewish aliyah has been estimated at approximately 1,500. These immigrants represented about 8 percent of the total community, a proportion which had no equal in any land of Jewish emigration at that time. The regulations involve such issues as interpersonal relations, festive meals, conduct at the home of a mourner, and the responsibility of a wealthy individual to assume one-fourth of the costs at a circumcision or putting on tefillin for the first time, and much more.
