This is the story of the Jew community in Kerala. It’s believed that the Jew community migrated to Kerala back in 68 CE. Whilst many of the Jew community left for Israel, the promised land, when it was established, some chose to stay back in Kerala. And they can be seen in the Jew Town in Ernakulam, where the vibrant ways of the community can be experienced. Here is a peek into their lives and stories.

  1. The stories of Cochin Jews deserves due attention in order to preserve its vanishing heritage roots in Kerala. We have also tried our part by documenting few stories through heritage enthusiasts Elias Josephai, Taha & others. The 2021 Jewish festival visuals from Kadavumbhagam synagogue is available in our Channelโ–ถ๏ธ

  3. In India, Kerala was the state who welcomed Jews ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ and build India's first jewish church not only Jewish church even Christianity church and mosque were build in Kerala

  4. Hi Folks , I am planning to reach Kerala on 1st week of Jan 2022 and wanna explore the state for a month ? Let me know if you wanna join?

  5. I do think Jews will return and establish new community in Kerala. Keralites welcome do the same in Israel.

  6. There was a Jewish businessman one Mr S Skuder who ran a shop in Kerala, Kottayam. I heard that he was an old man. During the pray time this person irrespective of whatever he was doing used to run to his residence for praying, I was told that people used to obstruct him jokingly but he ran like hell to reach on time for prayers. I don't know whether he went to Israel or had his last days here only.

  7. India has always welcomed everyone with open arms. Jewish community and others thrive in India , whereas they have all died out in pakistan

  8. The first line of the video me sad, because our Jewish brothers who have lived with us for thousands of years are leaving us but I also understand their desire to go back to their land of origin.
