INTERESTING HEBREW INSCRIPTION FROM INDIA



This inscription is from Chennamangalam Synagogue in India. History tells us that in Kerala alone, there are at least eight known synagogues, even though most of them are no longer in existence. 

One of these synagogues belong to the White Jews of Cochin, while the other seven belonged to the Malabari (brown or black) Jews. 

The Jews arrived in Chendamangalam after the destruction of the second temple and the final desolation of Jerusalem by the Romans around AD 69-70. They founded a Jewish colony in Kerala.
