| A Year with the Jews of Cochin (with slides) Meet heirs to Jewish princes, descendants of mystics and spice merchants in the gentlest corner of the Diaspora – Cochin in South India. See ancient synagogues where the Torah is read from the women’s section. Observe matzah-making the Simhat Torah revelry according to the world’s most exotic Jewish traditions. See the original copper plates that chartered an autonomous Jewish principality. Despite 2,000 years of security and prosperity, the Jewish community of Cochin is not all but extinct, forsaken for a new life in Israel. Unravel the mysteries. Illustrated with stunning slides by Ellen Goldberg Katz. |
