Tour Description

Mumbai has always been an oasis for all who wished to find refuge and make a living on the side! From the earliest records, the city has made itself a reputation of being the Mecca for trade with nations far and wide sending emissaries to her doors. And among all the varied communities, few have made it as big as the Jews. India boasts of around 5000 Jews of which around 3000 are believed to be in this city. During this tour, we will get a chance to meet with the members, understand the lives, contributions and even their impact on the lives of the everyday Indian we see today. This tour is open to people of all faiths and is curated with an aim to bring people together through valued Cultural Understanding.
