In the Indian city of Bombay, a small Jewish community is learning to cope with its declining population.

As most young Jews have relocated to Israel, the community’s numbers are rapidly declining.

However, removing a 2000-year-old Jewish connection is difficult for the older generation of Jews.

They continue to live in the shadow of the past, hoping that their Indian history will not be completely forgotten.

This is a traditional technique of ringing in the Jewish New Year.
