Rahel Musleah will share her knowledge of the ancient Indian Jewish community’s history, customs and melodies during this Scholar in Residence Shabbat.

Our Friday night program begins with Lev Tahor services at 6:30PM, followed by a kosher, catered Indian dinner (RSVP REQUIRED!) and Rahel’s first presentation, “Jewish Calcutta through Music and Memory”.

At Shabbat morning services you will experience the distinctive Shabbat rituals, customs and liturgy of the Calcutta Jewish community, as Rahel leads the Torah service, chanting Torah and haftarah using the Baghdadi-Indian nusach and tropes.

And Saturday evening at 7:30PM Rahel will speak on the Jews of Bombay and Cochin in her presentation, “From Shipwrecks to Maharajas”, rounding out the evening with a “Masala Havdalah ” and a “Malida”, the traditional “Bene Israel” taste of thanksgiving, offering blessings for life’s gifts.
