Stroll Kochi’s Jewish Town, where markets and synagogues reveal Jewish heritage. Expert guides lead you to Paradesi Synagogue, sharing tales of cultural harmony.
Embark on a 2-hour Jewish Heritage Walk through Kochi’s historic Jewish Town in Mattancherry, a vibrant journey into the heart of India’s ancient Jewish legacy. Starting at the iconic Mocha Art Cafe, a 400-year-old Dutch building, you’ll meet your expert guide, who brings Kochi’s multicultural past to life with engaging stories. Stroll through Synagogue Lane, where the air hums with the scents of cardamom and cloves from bustling spice markets. Your first stop is the Paradesi Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in the Commonwealth, built in 1568. Marvel at its stunning interiors, adorned with hand-painted Chinese tiles, Belgian chandeliers, and a golden crown gifted by the Cochin Raja, symbolizing centuries of cultural harmony. Next, wander the narrow, colorful streets of Jew Town, lined with quaint antique shops selling Keralan crafts and vintage collectibles, some still bearing Star of David motifs. Pass by the locked gates of the Jewish Cemetery on A.B. Salem Street, a quiet testament to the once-thriving Cochin Jewish community. Along the way, your guide shares tales of the Paradesi and Malabar Jews, their trade in spices, and their seamless integration into Kochi’s diverse fabric. The walk concludes with a visit to a local spice market, where you can browse vibrant stalls and perhaps pick up a souvenir. This immersive experience, filled with history, architecture, and local charm, offers a vivid glimpse into Kochi’s Jewish heritage.
