Discover India’s extraordinary blend of culture, spirituality, and Jewish heritage on this inspirational journey through Mumbai, Cochin, Jaipur, Agra, and Delhi. With the insight and presence of Rabbi Alexander Davis, the journey will be enriched with moments of Jewish learning, reflection, and spiritual connection, inviting participants to find deeper meaning in the people, places, and traditions they encounter along the way. Visit centuries-old synagogues and restored Jewish sites in Kerala, celebrate Shabbat with the local community in Mumbai, and learn about meaningful grassroots projects supported by GPM. Along the way, take in India’s vibrant markets, rich artistic traditions, and magnificent architectural treasures—including Jaipur’s Amber Fort, Agra’s breathtaking Taj Mahal, and Delhi’s Mughal masterpieces. With expert guidance, memorable local encounters, and thoughtfully curated experiences, this program offers a rare opportunity to connect with India’s past and present through a uniquely Jewish lens. We will visit sites supported by JDC, the Minneapolis Jewish Federation supports the work of JDC in India and worldwide. (JDC is the leading global Jewish humanitarian organization.)
