Kosher Tour to India

India is known for its yoga, the Taj Mahal and mysticism. But what you may not know is that it has a long history as one of the most hospitable Jewish homes in all of the Diaspora. Jews have lived in India for millennia without a trace of anti-Semitism. They have excelled in commerce, education, the military and the arts, always free to practice their religion.

Jews have been among India’s great mystics, taken center stage in Bollywood, served as mayors in Mumbai and Kolkata, and in more recent years, produced the country’s greatest military hero and a celebrated English-language poet. As a scholar of Indian religions specializing in Asian Jewry, I’ve had the opportunity to live in and travel extensively throughout India for years. Simply put, I consider India my second home, and would love to personally show it to you. And you’ll meet the diverse Jewish communities to make your experience come alive.
 
INDIA: My Second Home will take you to all the major sights in the metropolis of Mumbai, the historic port of Kochi, the cultural and intellectual capital Kolkata, cosmopolitan New Delhi, and mystical Agra, home of the fabulous Taj Mahal. India is filled with history – and that includes Jewish history!
 
The itinerary is superb. The hotels are world-class. If you have any questions, please email me at katzn18@gmail.com or log on to http://indiamy2ndhome.com.  A portion of the tour cost is tax-deductible and earmarked for FRJC, the Foundation for Remote Jewish Communities, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational and cultural organization promoting and supporting the endangered Jewish communities on the periphery of the Diaspora.
