Suleiman (Soli) Muthada was born in Isfahan, Iran in 1941, His parents, Aziz and Heshmet, who were born in Isfahan, moved to Teheran after their wedding in 1939. Heshmet's family lived in Mahuz, a village that was destroyed during the Iran-Iraq war. They were merchants. The parents of Aziz died when he was two years old. He and his brothers were forced to move from home to home of family members. As a child Suleiman studied in a mixed elementary school in Teheran and afterwards in the Jewish Alliance School (Kol Yisrael Chaverim). He studied theater and participated in different productions. He also adopted the hobby of mountain climbing. He scaled a number of mountains with his friends and even won an award from the Iranian Sports Center for his achievements in this field. In 1961, when Suleiman was 20 years old, he moved to Israel by himself, with the assistance of the 'Hachalutz' Movement that trained Jewish youth in Iran to make Aliyah. His brother came to Israel afterwards and a number of years later his parents and the rest of his siblings came as well. His father worked for Keren Kayemet Le'Israel (JNF). Suleiman learned Hebrew in the Beit Ha'am Ulpan in Jerusalem. He worked in the Freidman Heating Factory, in Givat Shaul and as a guard at the Hebrew University. At first Suleiman lived at the home of his uncle in Jerusalem. After his marriage to Rivka (who was a relative) in the 1970's, the couple moved to Ma'ale Adumim. They had children and grandchildren. Together with other immigrants from Iran, Suleiman helped found the Persian language theater in Israel where he acted for many years. The repertoire of the theater was varied: the experiences of the new immigrants in Israel; original Persian productions and translations of Persian plays. The theater is still active today. This photo collection was brought to the Yad Ben-Zvi archives by Muthada Suleiman. The pictures give us a peek into his childhood years in Teheran. There are photographs of him mountain climbing and performing in the theater, as well as other family pictures.
