Why choose this Mumbai tour ?
Jews have always been an integral part of Mumbai’s cultural and population make-up. The city’s Jews mainly comprised of two very distinct groups, the Bene Israel and the Baghdadi. The Bene Israel (Sons of Israel) trace their history in Mumbai over 1600 years ago. The Baghdadi Jews on the other hand settled in the city in the 1800’s as traders.
Once settled, these two groups strived for the betterment of the community and created architectural masterpieces that are now an integral part of Mumbai’s Jewish history.
This tour pays homage to the Jewish heritage in Mumbai and includes a visit to two beautiful synagogues, the docks, Jewish Library, and finally the Chabad House (based on availability) – the same that was attacked during the infamous terrorist siege of
Mumbai.
