- This is the story of the Jew community in Kerala. It's believed that the Jew community migrated to Kerala back in 68 CE. Whilst many of the Jew community left for Israel, the promised land, when it was established, some chose to stay back in Kerala. And they can be seen in the Jew Town in Ernakulam, where the vibrant ways of the community can be experienced. Here is a peek into their lives and stories.

I feel the Jews had their 'best neighbors ever' while they lived in Kerala
We people of Keralites always welcome you
India is maybe the only country in the world with no antisemitism . Not in the past and not in the present 🙏
Too bad thru couldn't get along with each other
@@kronthal not india kerala
@@keralanaturelover196 first beauty queen of india in the new era was called esther bat avraham and was a jew from kolkata. So not only in kerla.
Living in india i can understand why there is no antisemitism. Its part of culture to accept as long as there are no contradictions.
.
Kerala was the beating heart of the Ancient World. It was in the epicenter of every trade in the maritime silk road. It has been mentioned at least once by the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Chinese, Egyptians and many more. That is why it is a unique state in India with a diverse ethnic gene pool, culture and open-mindedness.
You are wrong. While Kerala was in the centre of several maritime trade routes, the real reason for peace is that it was largely ruled by indigenous rulers. Even after the British Empire, Travancore remained outside direct British control, and as a result there was no cultural strife between communities.
Goa, Bombay, Sindh, Punjab - on the other hand, contained same communities and even more. What was different was that, some among the other communities became violent oppressors, like in Goa and Punjab, and destroyed the cultural fabric.
Kerala is one of the regions in India that has not come under direct foreign rule for most part of its history. And the perks of local Hindu rule is still visible.
Very informative video 🙌💛 Greetings from Israel

Lissy, do the Christians from Kerala keep the 7th day Sabbath?
@@evandollar4880 Yes. 7th day (Sunday) is Holy for us
Lissy, interesting I was reading about the 1st Christians there and how Thomas went to the Synagogue there and evangelized. The articles I read stated that they kept the 7th day on Saturday. But the article did say that later on the church there took on a more Latin liturgy when the Portuguese came there.
@@evandollar4880 Oh yes! I'm also a Christian who follows Latin liturgy. Our church in my parish was built by Portuguese and our Quilon 'Kollam' was the first diocese from Asia which came under Catholic church.

Feel proud of them
This should be taught in schools. It's important that the younger generation learn how inclusive and welcoming the Keralaites culture is.
Keralites are very Loving people but now Communists and Islamists are destroying Kerala.
How welcoming Indian culture (Sanatan Dharma) is....

Thank you for making this wonderful video!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
There was a Jewish businessman one Mr S Skuder who ran a shop in Kerala, Kottayam. I heard that he was an old man. During the pray time this person irrespective of whatever he was doing used to run to his residence for praying, I was told that people used to obstruct him jokingly but he ran like hell to reach on time for prayers. I don't know whether he went to Israel or had his last days here only.

Thank you Ankith❤️
The first line of the video me sad, because our Jewish brothers who have lived with us for thousands of years are leaving us but I also understand their desire to go back to their land of origin.
They didn't move to Israel because they desire to go back to their land of origin. It is because of the ideology of Zionism, which gives (financial) incentives for Jews to move there. Most Jews around the world are opposed to Zionism. Religious Jews in particular are deeply against creating a Jewish state, which they see as expressly forbidden by the Torah - see Rabbi Dovid Weiss' interview on Al Jazeera. I also recommend the book The Last Jews of Kerala, which talks about why the Jewish community in Kerala died out and also talks about the experiences of some who emigrated to Israel. Israel is a deeply racist country; I know this from experience.
@@plurabelle5 i agree with you, recently i studied talmund in their it is mentioned" non jews are dogs or animals not humans". Judaism is a openly racist religion in the world without criticism. cause if you say anything against them they will call you 'anti-semite'.
@@plurabelle5 absolutely not true
@@plurabelle5Meanwhile Pakistan was created the same year based on paak or pure only, foreign rule of a thousand years, at least Israel is based on the oldest or native root. That’s not their game but those that try to change others or the world.

India has always welcomed everyone with open arms. Jewish community and others thrive in India , whereas they have all died out in pakistan
@Chachu P lol , there were jews in pakistan once . What r u gonna say next ,there were no Hindus in pakistan ?
Fun fact: When Yusuf Rabban arrived in Cochin in 52ad, the king even granted him as a prince. The only place they were truly accepted and respect grassroots.

thank kerala tourism.
when their home invaded and demolished, when the world hated those humans, it is only Hindus land and Hindus of India who welcomed them as their brothers and let them thrive!
India always stand with Jews
Yes our Kings were welcoming foreigners but the moghuls invaded ruled India converted Hindus and then came the British ruled us made our kings fight each other and divide and ruled India ....all because Hinduism is s tolerant peace loving way of life ....what lesson should we learn from our history of domination by gireign powers ????
Absolutely correct, our kings like white skinned people. They accept jews, Christian, arabs, Dutch, Portuguese, English etc in open arm. But at the same time they treated native lower class people like slave and animals
@@os-vp1hv Malabar jews also have black skin. Black skin jews are the first refugees in India.

I do think Jews will return and establish new community in Kerala. Keralites welcome do the same in Israel.
I dont think its possible,, they got a permenant residency in israel.. So there will be no chance for that to happen.

There are 2 more synagogues. One more in Mattanchery which is in ruins . And one more in Broadway Ernakulam , which I think is opened very rarely on some festivals . So total 4+2 in Kochi. 2 in Mattanchery, 2 in Broadway (Ernakulam ) , 1 in Chendamangalam and 1 in Paravoor
What's the music in the first half of the video?
When u speak about Kerala keep Kerala and rest of India seperately and speak.Kerala is unique
this is a kerala tourism channel . all other states have similiar tourism channels.

As per historians, Matancheri name is because the kochi king at that time gave this land as gift for jews to live in... 'matana' stands for gift in hebrew..
Super 😍😍
Thank you! Happy that you enjoyed...Do watch our daily release
@@keralatourism many Christians in Kerala state are Jews who accepted Christ Jesus as Lord God. The Christians in Kerala state have Jewish DNA. St Thomas as well as other deciples were asked by Lord Jesus Christ to spread the gospel to the lost sheep of isreal meaning those Jews who were scattered around the world. That is how st Thomas came to Kerala state to spread the glorious gospel of Lord Jesus Christ.

They say the first jews who came from Solomons Jews were black, is that true? I seen that on a t.v show that was visiting Kerala India and was giving history on that country and they said the people said the first jews who came were black. Malabar Jews?
manu do you have any links to your research?
Yes my friend. Also black Jews were the racist term used by the Paradesi Jews because of the skin colour. The malabar Jews synagogues are the proof as they are much older than the Paradesi synagogue.
Leya Elias thank you..
lone ranger These Jews I’m talking about were black because the people of Kerala, India said they was black And also they build synagogues In these black Jews was King Solomons Jews. Did you see what the lady wrote right below me..
you claim your from Kerala but don’t know the history that they was proudly to tell about Solomons black Jews! I can’t believe you. Secondly, what the fuck is "Olive color" olives only come in two colors green and black! And I never seen no green people walking around! And have you seen what’s around the Arabian Peninsula! Egypt sedan and Ethiopia was all rules once by black people way before Ramsey bro north and south Egypt together in Ethiopians have a rich history in Judaism!
