A group of boys and girls near the school building.
 
The Jews lived in the city of Bukhara separate from the Moslems in three quarters, or makhallas: Makhalla-i-Kukhna (Old Makhalla), Makhalla-i-Nav (New Makhalla), and Amirobod (Emir's Town). By the beginning of the 20th century, Bukhara had about 8,000 Jews (12% of the city's population).
