Showcase of Indian Jewish Heritage and Indian Dinner with Guest Speaker Mr. Nissim Rueben
(Special Event)
Short documentary and discussion - Jews have been coming to India for more than 2,000 years both to trade and escape persecution. These Jews are both fully Indian and fully Jewish. Some of their customs and religious observances emphasize ritual purity and take into account local customs while being faithful to halakha (Jewish ritual law). More than thirty synagogues and prayer halls have been documented in Mumbai (Bombay) and on the adjacent coast. The Pardesi Synagogue is the oldest active synagogue in the Commonwealth.
