Kochi Jewish Synagogue - The secular space of green Kerala has indulged religions for many centuries, thereby creating claim for both devotion and devotee amongst its masses. The Jewish Synagogue in Kochi is the faultless blend of tradition with architecture with loopholes from where the rich culture of India can seep in.
The Kochi Jewish Synagogue was built in 1568, and conserved till today. The population of the Jews has dropped radically with the establishing of the Jewish State of Israel, many Jewish settlers in Cochin and other parts of Kerala left the country for Israel. There are only about 17 Jews left, and that the number of adult males does not come up to the necessary number for a Priest, the Community is without one. The Jewish Synagogue will be probably being taken over by a Trust, and because of its historical significance to the history of Kochi, it would be preserved.
