Judaism is hemmed in neatly in the large religious cloak in India. In fact it adds yet another colour to the culture in the country. Although there seem to few Jewish places of worship in India but each one contributes to the rich history of Judaism in this secular country. In our 07 Nights and 08 Days Jewish Pilgrimage, we endow you with an opportunity to seek blessings at important Synagogues in India. Take a plunge in the pool of spirituality and rich history of one of the oldest religion in the world. Our tour will begin at the Knesset Eliyahoo Synagogue,which is also known as Fort Jewish Synagogue in Mumbai. We shall also pay homage at Tifereth Synagogue and the Magen David Synagogue along with South of Mumbai rocky outcrop. We will also fly to Cochin to witness the 1568 Synagogue and shall also seize the opportunity to enjoy a short city tour here before leaving for Kolkata. At the Cultural City, Kolkata, we will offer prayer at Neveh Shalom Synagogue, which by the way is the first Synagogue in city. Our tour will conclude with the visit to Magen David Synagogue and exploring some of the flavours of this rich cultural hub of India.
