Urfalim Urfalim () or Urfan Jews, also related as Urfan Levites, are an Israelite (mostly Levite and to a lesser degree Jewish) community originated from Urfa, in south-eastern Anatolia, in modern Turkey. Israelites from the Anatolian villages of Suruc and Çermik (named Surucalim and Cermikalim) are also included within the Urfalim definition, due to the geographic proximity among those communities, and due to marriage relations between the three. The community fled Urfa in 1896, eventually relocating to Jerusalem and Tiberias. ==History== According to several traditions, Urfa is the Biblical Ur Kaśdim (Ur of the Chaldees, or City of the Chaldees),〔()〕 though most archaeologists establish the location of Ur Kaśdim as being identical with Ur in modern day Iraq. When Alexander the Great conquered Urfa, he renamed it Ruha. During a significant period of history the city was called in its Greek variation as Edessa. Tradition of the Urfalim tells, the community was quite small, and had grown over 500 years by influx of Mizrahi Jews from Iraq and Aleppo.〔 During the 19th century, the community included about 1,000 people.〔
