Small Jewish community in India on verge of extinction

Lifestyle & Belief

Hundreds of years ago, two groups of Jews moved to India and settled in an area along the Malabar Coast. Now, fewer than 40 remain, the rest having emigrated to Israel after it was formed or died of old age. But this year, they’ll light the menorah at their now-closed synagogue to celebrate Hanukkah.
