Mikveh "Jewish Well", Sandur, Iraq
Mikveh in Sandur (Sandor, Sindur, Sundur, סונדור), Iraqi-Kurdistan.
Description
The village of Sandur is located in the desolate mountains of northern part of Iraqi-Kurdistan. Absent from most maps, including Google Earth, travelers have for centuries left clues as to its location. For instance, Henry Aaron Stern, Jewish convert from London who traveled to the area in 1844, wrote that Sandur was about two hours away from Tahook (Dohuk).
