Chaharlangi, Tabea

I am currently working as a student assistant at the Chair of Jewish History and Culture as well as at the Institute for Near and Middle Eastern Studies (Department of Jewish Studies) at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. At the same time, I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies with a minor in History. In May 2025, I was awarded the Leon and Lola Teicher Scholarship by the Friends of Jewish History and Culture Association.

After completing secondary school, I undertook a voluntary social year abroad (Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr) in the form of a memorial service, which took me to Yad Vashem in Israel and to Vilnius, Lithuania. Although I am still at an early stage of my studies, my academic interests are beginning to take shape. In particular, I am interested in the culture and history of the Jewish community in Iran, as well as in the diplomatic relations between Israel and Iran, especially in the period following the 1979 Revolution.
