Start your tour this morning by paying visits to Mumbai’s Knesset Eliyahoo Synagogue, Magen David Synagogue, Tiphereth Israel Synagogue, and Gate of Mercy Synagogue. The fascinating tour of Mumbai’s Jewish community, which numbered about 30,000 in the late 1940s will run about six hours. Today a few thousand still make Mumbai their home. See the Jewish Schools on the Campus of the Magen David Synagogue: Sir Jacob Sassoon High School and E E E Sassoon High School. Then make visits to a hospital supported by Jewish contributions: Masina Hospital, the former Residence of Sir Jacob Sassoon.

The Sassoon family was nicknamed the “Rothschilds of the East” due to the great wealth they accumulated in trade. From the 18th century, the Sassoons were one of the wealthiest families in the world, with a merchant empire spanning the continent of Asia.
