Exploring the Rich History of Jews in India

The Jewish Standard of New Jersey — Two BGU academics recently gave presentations in New Delhi, India, during a two-day conference on Indian Jews.

The “Shirei Hodu,” or “Songs of India,” conference featured major global specialists on Indian Jews, a topic that is gaining new traction among young Jewish historians and cultural researchers.

Prof. Menashe Anzi of BGU’s Department of Jewish History is researching how Yemeni rabbis in the 18th to 20th century served as a link between rabbinic Judaism and Indian Jewish communities that were cut off from the rest of the Jewish world.
