Meet the Cochin Jews - Israel’s oldest Indian community

Amazing stuff! Israel is perhaps one of the most diverse countries in world as far as its population is concerned due to e.g. the diaspora! It represents a true United Nations within one country! An extraordinary melting pot ("Ingathering of the Exiles" (קיבוץ גלויות))!

Recently, I have blogged here and here about the former prime minister of Israel, Golda Meir. She was born in Russia, raised in the United States, before she migrated to Israel.

Meet the Cochin Jews - Israel’s oldest Indian community - ISRAEL21c Recent attention has focused on the Bnei Menashe Indians who just arrived in Israel, but there’s an older Indian community that’s been here since the country was founded.
