Perhaps unique to Iceland is the fast growing Ásatrúarfélag, a legally recognized revival of the pre-Christian Nordic religion of the original settlers. According to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Reykjavík, there were only approximately 30 Jews in Iceland as of 2001. [32] The First Lady of Iceland Dorrit Moussaieff is an Israeli-born Bukharian Jew.

Just watched a video interview with her saying (in castellano) that music was a very important aspect of her 2013 spring line because it was inspired by Beethoven's sonata for piano and violin.
