Mattancherry is Indian Jewry’s most famous settlement. Its pretty streets of pastel coloured houses, connected by first-floor passages and home to the last twelve saree-and-sarong-wearing, white-skinned Indian Jews are visited by thousands of tourists each year. Its synagogue, built in 1568, with a floor of blue-and-white Chinese tiles, a carpet given by Haile Selassie and the frosty Yaheh selling tickets at the door, stands as an image of religious tolerance.


  • Jews in India were always tolerant.
  • Mattancherry represents, therefore, the perfect picture of peaceful co-existence.
  • Religious tolerance has always been only a façade and nothing more.
  • India’s Jews have almost never suffered discrimination, except for European colonizers and each other.
