The Jewish connection to India is both ancient and modern and when Hinduism and Judaism come together, it gives us a lot of interesting information. As a minority in a country that has welcomed and cared for you, would you take the chance to go back to your home country? Whether or not: Is there any reason for you to leave or stay? This is what the writer learns when he talks to the Jews in Mumbai: that not only are genes, race, and creation myths important but so is how quickly an exiled group can adapt their myths to their new country.
There, I will be celebrating the Jewish New Year at the home of Yael and Ralph Jhirad. You, a stranger, have been invited to dinner by them, who are friends of a friend of yours. At an aunt’s house in Chembur, which is about a half-hour away from the Jhirad home on Napean Sea Road, I stop. In my mind, this is a world away from the house.
