Halvdags Mumbai Jewish Heritage Privat guidet tur
Beskrivelse
Det jødiske samfund i Indien består af 03 forskellige grupper: Bene Israel, det jødiske samfund i Malabar og de irakiske jøder. Deres historie går tilbage til over 2000 år siden, hvor der er beviser opført på kirkegårdene på hebraisk. I dag er samfundet skrumpet betydeligt; der er dog stadig et stort fællesskab, der deler historien med os. Dette program kombinerer både jødiske historier (når vi går den slagne vej for at udforske denne bemærkelsesværdige kultur) med de traditionelle indiske templer og paladser gennem maharajaernes land.

Rejseplan
Knesset Eliyahoo, også Knesset Eliyahu, er en ortodoks jødisk synagoge beliggende i centrum af Mumbai, Indien. Det er byens næstældste sefardiske synagoge.
Magen David Synagogue, et kulturarvssted og et berømt turiststed beliggende ved Byculla. Dette er en af de største synagoger i det jødiske samfund i Indien.
Tiphereth Israel Synagogue og ved Gate of Mercy Synagogue, to af de ældste synagoger i Mumbai.
David Sassoon Library er navnet på et berømt bibliotek og kulturarvsstruktur i Mumbai, Indien. Idéen til et bibliotek, der skulle ligge i centrum af byen, var udtænkt af Albert Sassoon, søn af den berømte Baghdadi jødiske filantrop, David Sassoon.
Synagogen blev bygget i 1796 og er en af de ældste synagoger i Mumbai. Det blev etableret af Bene Israel-fællesskabet, som har en lang og historisk historie i Indien, der går tilbage til tiden for det andet tempel i Jerusalem.
Det er den næstældste Bene Israel synagoge i Mumbai. Bygget i 1843.Det blev etableret på grund af en splittelse i ledelsen af den tidligere synagoge, Shaar Harahamim ("Gate of Mercy"). Nogle medlemmer var uenige og dannede en ny menighed, som byggede Shaare Rason ("Gate of Desire" eller "Gate of Will").
Denne synagoge, den største af Bene Israel-bygningerne i Mumbai, forbliver i drift med en lille menighed
Nariman House, betegnet som et Chabad hus, er et fem-etagers landemærke i Colaba-området i det sydlige Mumbai. Bygningen var hjemsted for et Chabad hus, et hasidisk jødisk outreach center, der blev drevet af Gavriel og Rivka Holtzberg, som havde ejet bygningen siden omkring 2006. Centret havde et uddannelsescenter, en synagoge, tilbudte narkotikaforebyggelsestjenester og et vandrerhjem. Bygningen var en af stederne for terrorangrebene i Mumbai i november 2008, og seks af dens beboere, herunder Holtzberg og hans kone, der var seks måneder gravid, blev dræbt. Deres toårige søn Moshe overlevede angrebet efter at være blevet reddet af hans indiske nanny, Sandra Samuel.
Den jødiske kirkegård i Worli blev grundlagt i 1927, og er en af de vigtigste gravsteder for det lokale jødiske samfund. Kirkegården forvaltes af Jewish Cemetery Trust, med kontorer placeret overfor Nehru Science Centre.

We LOVED this tour! It was so fascinating to learn about the Mumbai Jewish community and its rich history. I really enjoyed meeting the people who still work at the remaining historic synagogues of Mumbai and everything they are doing to keep them running! Sameer was the perfect tour guide and also gave us a lot of interesting information about Mumbai in general as well as the Jewish history. I highly recommend this tour!
Excellent tour to see the Jewish synagogues and places of Jewish heritage. Sameer was very informative of the history of the Jewish community in India as well as the existing Jewish population in Mumbai. We thoroughly enjoyed .
A friend I met on my tour to India had booked this wonderful half day experience and invited me to go with her. Sameer (Shreeji Tours n Travels) was an exceptional guide with exceptional knowledge about everything in Mumbai, not just the Jewish temples and other sights we visited. If I had not been on a tour, I would have taken more of his of Sameer's tours in Mumbai and the greater area. He is as good as you can get!!!
Sameer’s tour was excellent. My daughter and I always try to connect with our Jewish heritage, and this was the best tour we have taken to date. The synagogues were beautiful and we got to meet and speak with two members and officers of the synagogues. Aaron’ grandfather was instrumental in keeping the synagogue thriving and he showed us the Ark and the congregations various to Torahs. He was so gray to talk to. The other individual also showed us the six Torahs, all Sephardic style and explained the history of his over 100 year old congregation. He also chanted Torah for us to demonstrate his fluency and his chanting abilities. Finally we ended our tour at Chabad of Mumbai, where in 2008 terrorists killed over 200 people in various locations in Mumbai, including 6 people at the Chabad house. Three floors are dedicated museums and there is a charming kosher restaurant on the 2nd floor. We had lox on challa and chicken soup. It was terrific. Sameer explained the history of the synagogues as well as the history of the Jews of Mumbai. Extremely knowledgeable and very gracious. His tour even picked us up at our hotel which was in North Mumbai, no other Jewish heritage tour would do that. This a must for any Jew and this is the tour to take. 6 out of 5 stars.
This was a great chance to see the history of Jews in Mumbai from Bebe Israel synagogue to baghdadi synagogues to the Habas house. The guide and driver were great.
Thanks for the chance to see several of the Jewish heritage sites in Mumbai but also top attractions in south Mumbai in general. Really interesting to hear about the city and country’s history and even experience riding the train line a local!
