Your Jewish Travels
Introducing a new feature in our Photo Album - "Your Jewish Travels." Please send photos of your Jewish travels, near and far, so we can share them with your fellow Kehillah members.
The photo and caption below come from Joshua and Monica Edelstein, who visited India with their children, Olivia and Raja.
Thank you, Edelstein family!
Olivia and Raja went to the oldest synagogue in Cochin (in the Indian state of Kerala). They visited the old Jewish colony and said Shabbat Shalom to Sarah Cohen (age 95), one of the last remaining members of two Jewish families still in town. We also got a new challah cover hand-embroidered by Ms. Cohen.
