http://israelvideosfeed.comBorough Park (usually spelled Boro Park by its residents), is a neighborhood in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City in the United States; Borough Park covers an extensive grid of streets between Bay Ridge and Prospect Park. Borough Park had its beginnings in a few streets of cottages called "Blythebourne" erected in 1887 by the speculative builder, Electus B. Litchfield.Another developer, William Reynolds, built more speculative housing in the area, which was served by a steam railroad, the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island West End Line.
Borough Park is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside of Israel, with one of the largest concentrations of Jews in the United States, and Orthodox traditions rivaling many insular communities. Since the average number of children in Hasidic and Hareidi families is 6.72, Borough Park is experiencing sharp growth. It is an economically diverse area, with rich, working class and poor people living side-by-side and going to the same schools and synagogues.
Its heart lies between 9th and 18th Avenues and 40th and 61st Streets. Borough Park is patrolled by the NYPD's 66th [6] Precinct and by Boro Park Shomrim Citizen Safety Patrol

Eng/Hindi/Nat
A small Jewish community living in the Indian city of Bombay is learning to come to terms with its shrinking population.
The community's numbers are dwindling fast, as most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel.
But for the older generation Jews, uprooting a link that dates back 2000 years is not easy.
They continue to live in the shadow of the past, in the hope their history in India will not fade away entirely.
A traditional way to herald the Jewish new year.
For the Jewish community living in the western Indian city of Bombay, it's also a time to look back on fond memories of years gone by.
Their memories are of times when the synagogue was filled with Jews, both young and old.
The history of this Jewish settlement in India dates back more than 2000 years.
The community includes Baghdad Jews living in Calcutta, White Jews who have settled in Cochin, as well as this congregation in Bombay.
Today, the once 25-thousand strong community which settled in various parts of India has dwindled to about one-fifth of its size.
About two-thousand of them now live in Bombay, while most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel.
Those who are still here say it's a spiritual call that beckons the Jews to their Holy Land.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It is written in our Bible that from all over the world Jews will come together to Israel, and one time will come, you see, when all the Jews will go there.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Abrahim Samson, Indian Jew
As elsewhere in the world, it is religion that has kept the community bound closely together.
Synagogues and prayer halls are centres for social interaction and get-togethers.
Concern about widespread migration of the young is often reflected in pleas published in the newspapers.
Ancestors of Jews living in Bombay were known as Bene Israelis, meaning the children of Israel.
The Bene Israelis have brown skins, unlike the White Jews of Cochin.
The desire to keep the ethnic identity of the community intact has meant few inter-religious marriages.
Jonathan Daniel, who works for Israeli Airlines in Bombay, says the search for better prospects and suitable life partners drives most young Jews to Israel.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It is restricted. We don't usually go outcaste because if you want to marry outcaste you have to convert her to the Jewish religion and then we marry her.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Jonathan Daniel Chewoolkar, Indian Jew
Bombay's minority Jews have assimilated themselves well into the local Indian culture.
They speak fluent Marathi - the local language - even though learning Hebrew is still a must.
The attire for the Jewish women is the Indian sari, just like their Hindu counterparts.
But cultural assimilation remains strictly within the parameters set by the Jewish religion.
Religious rites and rituals are practised in the traditional manner, and the ethnic signature of the community remains distinct.
Conscious of the historical persecution of the Jewish race in many parts of the world, Jews in India say the country's policy of religious tolerance is largely responsible for their long history in an alien land.
SOUNDBITE: (Hindi)
\"There are no restrictions on us in practising our religion here. We have adopted a few things from India but only those permitted by
our religion.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Gabriel Abrahim Galsovrkar, Indian Jew
Every new year for the Jews in India brings with it the growing reality of their dwindling numbers.
The occasion of Jewish new year is traditionally heralded by offering prayers at the ferry wharf in Bombay.
It is believed that praying near the sea will rid the community of all its ills.

Channel 4 UK. Dispatches.
A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation has uncovered evidence of religious officials hiding child sex abuse in Britain after secretly filming a senior rabbi telling a victim not to involve the police.
The documentary, Britain's Hidden Child Abuse, shows how some rabbis within a strict Orthodox Jewish community forbid victims from reporting crimes committed against them.
There are around 40,000 Charedin - strict Orthodox Jews - in Britain. During the investigation, reporters uncovered 19 alleged cases of child sex abuse. None had been reported to the police.
Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, who leads the Charedi community in north London's Stamford Hill, is secretly filmed speaking to an alleged victim of child sex abuse.
The victim tells the rabbi how a member of the Jewish community sexually abused him and that he thought Padwa knew who the perpetrator was.
Padwa says in the film: "I imagine that I know [of] whom you are talking. And if I'm correct, we are dealing with this."
The victim asks if he should go to the police but Padwa says no, explaining it would constitute mesira - meaning it is forbidden to report a Jew to a non-Jewish authority.
Padwa continues throughout the film to say the police must not be involved even if more children have been victims. The police are not to be involved them under any circumstances, he says.
Police informers berated
The victim says: "Now I've got a question - if the police found out about it and they called me in, what would you say to me?"
Padwa: "HaShem (Heaven Forbid), let's hope it wouldn't happen. You shouldn't do anything that can lead to the police."
Another rabbi, whose name was not revealed, told the filmmakers how one family had been berated by Padwa after they reported abuse to the police: "The young man didn't know what to do, and out of desperation, he made the decision to call the police.
"The police felt there was enough evidence to take out the perpetrator from the middle of the Stamford Hill community in handcuffs. And this is disgraceful, a scandal," said the rabbi.
"Then [the victim's father] went to the senior rabbi of the Stamford Hill community, whose name is Rabbi Padwa. [Padwa's] whole concern was to berate the father, 'How dare you go and be an informer?' [Padwa] said: 'You ruined his life, [the perpetrator] was ashamed enough by the arrest and what happened, and therefore leave it go. It's forbidden for you to pursue the case'. Rabbi Padwa never expressed sympathy - not for the child and not for the parents."
The anonymous rabbi added that the community then turned against the family. They were told they were no longer welcome at the synagogue and eventually they left the community.
"There is no question that we do not have the ability to police and deal with perverts, deviants, child molesters. We can't - it's above the pay grade of the rabbis," he added.
Rise in vigilantes
Following the secret filming, the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations sent a letter to Dispatches, explaining it had a "robust" system in place to "deal with child abuse".
Although the documentary does not suggest child sex abuse is more prominent in the Charedi community, the orthodox approach to reporting cases means children may be vulnerable to abuse and perpetrators are shielded from justice, say critics.
The film also looks at how some members of the community become vigilantes because rabbis fail to respond complaints of abuse.
Rabbi Yehuda Brodie, registrar of the Manchester Beth Din, told the Jewish Chronicle: "We offer our strongest support for any victim of any criminal act to report matters to the authorities, including the police, as and where appropriate."
The London Beth Din, which represents modern Orthodox Jews, added: "When abuse has occurred, the police must be informed without delay. Local communities should not attempt to deal with the situation internally.
"Delays in reporting abuse can cause vital evidence to be lost, allowing the abusers to continue violating our children.

Narrow Bridge is an independent narrative film produced by IzzyComm Motion Pictures. It is the first film of its kind to break the silence about the existence of sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community and depict the effects of sexual abuse on survivors.
Synopsis
Daniel Schneider is a quiet, shy, 21-year-old philosophy major. A proud Orthodox Jew, he is well liked by professors and committed to his faith. He prays daily and observes the Jewish Sabbath. During a chance encounter, Rachel Goldstein, a fellow student in his Modern Philosophy class, takes an interest in him. The two start out as study buddies, but quickly fall in love with one another. Rachel is inspired by Daniel's devotion to Judaism and slowly becomes more religious herself. She notices that he is mysteriously reluctant to talk about his life before college and his hometown, where he has not visited for four years.
As his relationship with Rachel develops, Daniel opens up emotionally and finds himself uncovering long-repressed memories of how he was sexually abused by his rabbi when he was twelve years old. When he returns to his insulated hometown together with Rachel, neither of them feel welcome in Daniel's tight-knit community. His dark secret begins to distance the two of them. As Daniel refuses to confront his feelings, he watches his life as he knows it slowly unravel before his eyes. Soon he questions where he stands with his family, community, fiancé, and G-d. Narrow Bridge is an exploration of the power of love and faith amid trials, both human and divine.

Judaism
Judaism (from Latin: Iudaismus, derived from Greek Ἰουδαϊσμός, originally from Hebrew יהודה, Yehudah, "Judah"; in Hebrew: יהדות, Yahadut, the distinctive characteristics of the Judean ethnos) encompasses the religion, philosophy, culture and way of life of the Jewish people. Judaism is an ancient monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text (part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), and supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Midrash and the Talmud. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship that God established with the Children of Israel.

Synagogue
A synagogue, also spelled synagog (from Greek συναγωγή, transliterated synagogē, meaning "assembly"; Hebrew: בית כנסת Beyth Kenesset, meaning "house of assembly"; בית תפילה Beyth Tefila, meaning "house of prayer"; שול shul; אסנוגה esnoga; קהל kahal), is a Jewish house of prayer.
Synagogues have a large hall for prayer (the main sanctuary), and may also have smaller rooms for study and sometimes a social hall and offices. Some have a separate room for Torah study, called the Beith Midrash (Sefaradi) "beis midrash (Ashkenazi)—בית מדרש ("House of Study").
Synagogues are consecrated spaces used for the purpose of prayer, Torah reading, study and assembly; however a synagogue is not necessary for worship. Halakha holds that Communal Jewish worship can be carried out wherever ten Jews (a minyan) assemble. Worship can also be carried out alone or with fewer than ten people assembled together. However, Halakha considers certain prayers as communal prayers and therefore they may be recited only by a minyan. The synagogue does not replace the long-since destroyed Temple in Jerusalem.

Jews
The Jews (/dʒuːz/;Hebrew: יְהוּדִים ISO 259-3 Yehudim, Israeli pronunciation [jehuˈdim]), also known as the Jewish people, are an ethnoreligious group originating from the Israelites, or Hebrews, of the Ancient Near East. Jewish ethnicity, nationhood and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation, while its observance varies from strict observance to complete nonobservance.
The Jews trace their ethnogenesis to the part of the Levant known as the Land of Israel. The discovery of the Merneptah Stele confirms the existence of the people of Israel in Canaan as far back as the 13th century BCE. Since then, while maintaining rule over their homeland during certain periods—such as under the Kingdom of Israel, the Kingdom of Judah, the Hasmonean Dynasty, and the Herodian Kingdom—Jews also suffered various exiles and occupations from their homeland—from Ancient Egyptian Occupation of the Levant, to Assyrian Captivity and Exile, to Babylonian Captivity and Exile, to Greek Occupation and Exile, to the Roman Occupation and Exile. These events subjected Jews to slavery, pogroms, cultural assimilation, forced expulsions, genocide, and more, scattering Jews all around the world, in what is known today as the Jewish diaspora.

Orthodox Judaism
Orthodox Judaism is the approach to religious Judaism which subscribes to a tradition of mass revelation and adheres to the interpretation and application of the laws and ethics of the Torah as legislated in the Talmudic texts by the Tanaim and Amoraim. These texts were subsequently developed and applied by later authorities, known as the Gaonim, Rishonim, and Acharonim. Orthodox Judaism generally includes Modern Orthodox Judaism (אורתודוקסיה מודרנית) and ultra-Orthodox or Haredi Judaism (יהדות חרדית), but complete within is a wide range of philosophies. Although Orthodox Judaism would probably be considered the mainstream expression of Judaism prior to the 19th century, for some Orthodox Judaism is a modern self-identification that distinguishes it from traditional pre-modern Judaism.
As of 2001, Orthodox Jews and Jews affiliated with an Orthodox synagogue accounted for approximately 50% of British Jews (150,000), 26.5% of Israeli Jews (1,500,000) and 13% of American Jews (529,000). Among those affiliated to a synagogue body, Orthodox Jews represent 70% of British Jewry and 27% of American Jewry.

Britain's Hidden Child Abuse - London's Orthodox Jewish Community - DocumentaryBritain's Hidden Child Abuse - London's Orthodox Jewish Community - Documentary
Channel 4 UK. Dispatches. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation has uncovered evidence of religious officials hiding child sex abuse in Britain after secretly filming a senior rabbi telling a victim not to involve the police. The documentary, Britain's Hidden Child Abuse, shows how some rabbis within a strict Orthodox Jewish community forbid victims from reporting crimes committed against them. There are around 40,000 Charedin - strict Orthodox Jews - in Britain. During the investigation, reporters uncovered 19 alleged cases of child sex abuse. None had been reported to the police. Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, who leads the Charedi community in north London's Stamford Hill, is secretly filmed speaking to an alleged victim of child sex abuse. The victim tells the rabbi how a member of the Jewish community sexually abused him and that he thought Padwa knew who the perpetrator was. Padwa says in the film: "I imagine that I know [of] whom you are talking. And if I'm correct, we are dealing with this." The victim asks if he should go to the police but Padwa says no, explaining it would constitute mesira - meaning it is forbidden to report a Jew to a non-Jewish authority. Padwa continues throughout the film to say the police must not be involved even if more children have been victims. The police are not to be involved them under any circumstances, he says. Police informers berated The victim says: "Now I've got a question - if the police found out about it and they called me in, what would you say to me?" Padwa: "HaShem (Heaven Forbid), let's hope it wouldn't happen. You shouldn't do anything that can lead to the police." Another rabbi, whose name was not revealed, told the filmmakers how one family had been berated by Padwa after they reported abuse to the police: "The young man didn't know what to do, and out of desperation, he made the decision to call the police. "The police felt there was enough evidence to take out the perpetrator from the middle of the Stamford Hill community in handcuffs. And this is disgraceful, a scandal," said the rabbi. "Then [the victim's father] went to the senior rabbi of the Stamford Hill community, whose name is Rabbi Padwa. [Padwa's] whole concern was to berate the father, 'How dare you go and be an informer?' [Padwa] said: 'You ruined his life, [the perpetrator] was ashamed enough by the arrest and what happened, and therefore leave it go. It's forbidden for you to pursue the case'. Rabbi Padwa never expressed sympathy - not for the child and not for the parents." The anonymous rabbi added that the community then turned against the family. They were told they were no longer welcome at the synagogue and eventually they left the community. "There is no question that we do not have the ability to police and deal with perverts, deviants, child molesters. We can't - it's above the pay grade of the rabbis," he added. Rise in vigilantes Following the secret filming, the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations sent a letter to Dispatches, explaining it had a "robust" system in place to "deal with child abuse".

INDIA: JEWISH COMMUNITY LIVING IN BOMBAY DWINDLING FAST
Eng/Hindi/Nat A small Jewish community living in the Indian city of Bombay is learning to come to terms with its shrinking population. The community's numbers are dwindling fast, as most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel. But for the older generation Jews, uprooting a link that dates back 2000 years is not easy. They continue to live in the shadow of the past, in the hope their history in India will not fade away entirely. A traditional way to herald the Jewish new year. For the Jewish community living in the western Indian city of Bombay, it's also a time to look back on fond memories of years gone by. Their memories are of times when the synagogue was filled with Jews, both young and old. The history of this Jewish settlement in India dates back more than ...

Eng/Hindi/Nat
A small Jewish community living in the Indian city of Bombay is learning to come to terms with its shrinking population.
The community's numbers are dwindling fast, as most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel.
But for the older generation Jews, uprooting a link that dates back 2000 years is not easy.
They continue to live in the shadow of the past, in the hope their history in India will not fade away entirely.
A traditional way to herald the Jewish new year.
For the Jewish community living in the western Indian city of Bombay, it's also a time to look back on fond memories of years gone by.
Their memories are of times when the synagogue was filled with Jews, both young and old.
The history of this Jewish settlement in India dates back more than 2000 years.
The community includes Baghdad Jews living in Calcutta, White Jews who have settled in Cochin, as well as this congregation in Bombay.
Today, the once 25-thousand strong community which settled in various parts of India has dwindled to about one-fifth of its size.
About two-thousand of them now live in Bombay, while most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel.
Those who are still here say it's a spiritual call that beckons the Jews to their Holy Land.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It is written in our Bible that from all over the world Jews will come together to Israel, and one time will come, you see, when all the Jews will go there.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Abrahim Samson, Indian Jew
As elsewhere in the world, it is religion that has kept the community bound closely together.
Synagogues and prayer halls are centres for social interaction and get-togethers.
Concern about widespread migration of the young is often reflected in pleas published in the newspapers.
Ancestors of Jews living in Bombay were known as Bene Israelis, meaning the children of Israel.
The Bene Israelis have brown skins, unlike the White Jews of Cochin.
The desire to keep the ethnic identity of the community intact has meant few inter-religious marriages.
Jonathan Daniel, who works for Israeli Airlines in Bombay, says the search for better prospects and suitable life partners drives most young Jews to Israel.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It is restricted. We don't usually go outcaste because if you want to marry outcaste you have to convert her to the Jewish religion and then we marry her.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Jonathan Daniel Chewoolkar, Indian Jew
Bombay's minority Jews have assimilated themselves well into the local Indian culture.
They speak fluent Marathi - the local language - even though learning Hebrew is still a must.
The attire for the Jewish women is the Indian sari, just like their Hindu counterparts.
But cultural assimilation remains strictly within the parameters set by the Jewish religion.
Religious rites and rituals are practised in the traditional manner, and the ethnic signature of the community remains distinct.
Conscious of the historical persecution of the Jewish race in many parts of the world, Jews in India say the country's policy of religious tolerance is largely responsible for their long history in an alien land.
SOUNDBITE: (Hindi)
\"There are no restrictions on us in practising our religion here. We have adopted a few things from India but only those permitted by
our religion.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Gabriel Abrahim Galsovrkar, Indian Jew
Every new year for the Jews in India brings with it the growing reality of their dwindling numbers.
The occasion of Jewish new year is traditionally heralded by offering prayers at the ferry wharf in Bombay.
It is believed that praying near the sea will rid the community of all its ills.

Channel 4 UK. Dispatches.
A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation has uncovered evidence of religious officials hiding child sex abuse in Britain after secretly filming a senior rabbi telling a victim not to involve the police.
The documentary, Britain's Hidden Child Abuse, shows how some rabbis within a strict Orthodox Jewish community forbid victims from reporting crimes committed against them.
There are around 40,000 Charedin - strict Orthodox Jews - in Britain. During the investigation, reporters uncovered 19 alleged cases of child sex abuse. None had been reported to the police.
Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, who leads the Charedi community in north London's Stamford Hill, is secretly filmed speaking to an alleged victim of child sex abuse.
The victim tells the rabbi how a member of the Jewish community sexually abused him and that he thought Padwa knew who the perpetrator was.
Padwa says in the film: "I imagine that I know [of] whom you are talking. And if I'm correct, we are dealing with this."
The victim asks if he should go to the police but Padwa says no, explaining it would constitute mesira - meaning it is forbidden to report a Jew to a non-Jewish authority.
Padwa continues throughout the film to say the police must not be involved even if more children have been victims. The police are not to be involved them under any circumstances, he says.
Police informers berated
The victim says: "Now I've got a question - if the police found out about it and they called me in, what would you say to me?"
Padwa: "HaShem (Heaven Forbid), let's hope it wouldn't happen. You shouldn't do anything that can lead to the police."
Another rabbi, whose name was not revealed, told the filmmakers how one family had been berated by Padwa after they reported abuse to the police: "The young man didn't know what to do, and out of desperation, he made the decision to call the police.
"The police felt there was enough evidence to take out the perpetrator from the middle of the Stamford Hill community in handcuffs. And this is disgraceful, a scandal," said the rabbi.
"Then [the victim's father] went to the senior rabbi of the Stamford Hill community, whose name is Rabbi Padwa. [Padwa's] whole concern was to berate the father, 'How dare you go and be an informer?' [Padwa] said: 'You ruined his life, [the perpetrator] was ashamed enough by the arrest and what happened, and therefore leave it go. It's forbidden for you to pursue the case'. Rabbi Padwa never expressed sympathy - not for the child and not for the parents."
The anonymous rabbi added that the community then turned against the family. They were told they were no longer welcome at the synagogue and eventually they left the community.
"There is no question that we do not have the ability to police and deal with perverts, deviants, child molesters. We can't - it's above the pay grade of the rabbis," he added.
Rise in vigilantes
Following the secret filming, the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations sent a letter to Dispatches, explaining it had a "robust" system in place to "deal with child abuse".
Although the documentary does not suggest child sex abuse is more prominent in the Charedi community, the orthodox approach to reporting cases means children may be vulnerable to abuse and perpetrators are shielded from justice, say critics.
The film also looks at how some members of the community become vigilantes because rabbis fail to respond complaints of abuse.
Rabbi Yehuda Brodie, registrar of the Manchester Beth Din, told the Jewish Chronicle: "We offer our strongest support for any victim of any criminal act to report matters to the authorities, including the police, as and where appropriate."
The London Beth Din, which represents modern Orthodox Jews, added: "When abuse has occurred, the police must be informed without delay. Local communities should not attempt to deal with the situation internally.
"Delays in reporting abuse can cause vital evidence to be lost, allowing the abusers to continue violating our children.

Narrow Bridge is an independent narrative film produced by IzzyComm Motion Pictures. It is the first film of its kind to break the silence about the existence of sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community and depict the effects of sexual abuse on survivors.
Synopsis
Daniel Schneider is a quiet, shy, 21-year-old philosophy major. A proud Orthodox Jew, he is well liked by professors and committed to his faith. He prays daily and observes the Jewish Sabbath. During a chance encounter, Rachel Goldstein, a fellow student in his Modern Philosophy class, takes an interest in him. The two start out as study buddies, but quickly fall in love with one another. Rachel is inspired by Daniel's devotion to Judaism and slowly becomes more religious herself. She notices that he is mysteriously reluctant to talk about his life before college and his hometown, where he has not visited for four years.
As his relationship with Rachel develops, Daniel opens up emotionally and finds himself uncovering long-repressed memories of how he was sexually abused by his rabbi when he was twelve years old. When he returns to his insulated hometown together with Rachel, neither of them feel welcome in Daniel's tight-knit community. His dark secret begins to distance the two of them. As Daniel refuses to confront his feelings, he watches his life as he knows it slowly unravel before his eyes. Soon he questions where he stands with his family, community, fiancé, and G-d. Narrow Bridge is an exploration of the power of love and faith amid trials, both human and divine.

INDIA: JEWISH COMMUNITY LIVING IN BOMBAY DWINDLING FAST
Eng/Hindi/Nat A small Jewish community living in the Indian city of Bombay is learning to come to terms with its shrinking population. The community's numbers are dwindling fast, as most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel. But for the older generation Jews, uprooting a link that dates back 2000 years is not easy. They continue to live in the shadow of the past, in the hope their history in India will not fade away entirely. A traditional way to herald the Jewish new year. For the Jewish community living in the western Indian city of Bombay, it's also a time to look back on fond memories of years gone by. Their memories are of times when the synagogue was filled with Jews, both young and old. The history of this Jewish settlement in India dates back more than ...

Eng/Hindi/Nat
A small Jewish community living in the Indian city of Bombay is learning to come to terms with its shrinking population.
The community's numbers are dwindling fast, as most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel.
But for the older generation Jews, uprooting a link that dates back 2000 years is not easy.
They continue to live in the shadow of the past, in the hope their history in India will not fade away entirely.
A traditional way to herald the Jewish new year.
For the Jewish community living in the western Indian city of Bombay, it's also a time to look back on fond memories of years gone by.
Their memories are of times when the synagogue was filled with Jews, both young and old.
The history of this Jewish settlement in India dates back more than 2000 years.
The community includes Baghdad Jews living in Calcutta, White Jews who have settled in Cochin, as well as this congregation in Bombay.
Today, the once 25-thousand strong community which settled in various parts of India has dwindled to about one-fifth of its size.
About two-thousand of them now live in Bombay, while most of the young Jews have migrated to Israel.
Those who are still here say it's a spiritual call that beckons the Jews to their Holy Land.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It is written in our Bible that from all over the world Jews will come together to Israel, and one time will come, you see, when all the Jews will go there.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Abrahim Samson, Indian Jew
As elsewhere in the world, it is religion that has kept the community bound closely together.
Synagogues and prayer halls are centres for social interaction and get-togethers.
Concern about widespread migration of the young is often reflected in pleas published in the newspapers.
Ancestors of Jews living in Bombay were known as Bene Israelis, meaning the children of Israel.
The Bene Israelis have brown skins, unlike the White Jews of Cochin.
The desire to keep the ethnic identity of the community intact has meant few inter-religious marriages.
Jonathan Daniel, who works for Israeli Airlines in Bombay, says the search for better prospects and suitable life partners drives most young Jews to Israel.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
\"It is restricted. We don't usually go outcaste because if you want to marry outcaste you have to convert her to the Jewish religion and then we marry her.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Jonathan Daniel Chewoolkar, Indian Jew
Bombay's minority Jews have assimilated themselves well into the local Indian culture.
They speak fluent Marathi - the local language - even though learning Hebrew is still a must.
The attire for the Jewish women is the Indian sari, just like their Hindu counterparts.
But cultural assimilation remains strictly within the parameters set by the Jewish religion.
Religious rites and rituals are practised in the traditional manner, and the ethnic signature of the community remains distinct.
Conscious of the historical persecution of the Jewish race in many parts of the world, Jews in India say the country's policy of religious tolerance is largely responsible for their long history in an alien land.
SOUNDBITE: (Hindi)
\"There are no restrictions on us in practising our religion here. We have adopted a few things from India but only those permitted by
our religion.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Gabriel Abrahim Galsovrkar, Indian Jew
Every new year for the Jews in India brings with it the growing reality of their dwindling numbers.
The occasion of Jewish new year is traditionally heralded by offering prayers at the ferry wharf in Bombay.
It is believed that praying near the sea will rid the community of all its ills.

Channel 4 UK. Dispatches.
A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation has uncovered evidence of religious officials hiding child sex abuse in Britain after secretly filming a senior rabbi telling a victim not to involve the police.
The documentary, Britain's Hidden Child Abuse, shows how some rabbis within a strict Orthodox Jewish community forbid victims from reporting crimes committed against them.
There are around 40,000 Charedin - strict Orthodox Jews - in Britain. During the investigation, reporters uncovered 19 alleged cases of child sex abuse. None had been reported to the police.
Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, who leads the Charedi community in north London's Stamford Hill, is secretly filmed speaking to an alleged victim of child sex abuse.
The victim tells the rabbi how a member of the Jewish community sexually abused him and that he thought Padwa knew who the perpetrator was.
Padwa says in the film: "I imagine that I know [of] whom you are talking. And if I'm correct, we are dealing with this."
The victim asks if he should go to the police but Padwa says no, explaining it would constitute mesira - meaning it is forbidden to report a Jew to a non-Jewish authority.
Padwa continues throughout the film to say the police must not be involved even if more children have been victims. The police are not to be involved them under any circumstances, he says.
Police informers berated
The victim says: "Now I've got a question - if the police found out about it and they called me in, what would you say to me?"
Padwa: "HaShem (Heaven Forbid), let's hope it wouldn't happen. You shouldn't do anything that can lead to the police."
Another rabbi, whose name was not revealed, told the filmmakers how one family had been berated by Padwa after they reported abuse to the police: "The young man didn't know what to do, and out of desperation, he made the decision to call the police.
"The police felt there was enough evidence to take out the perpetrator from the middle of the Stamford Hill community in handcuffs. And this is disgraceful, a scandal," said the rabbi.
"Then [the victim's father] went to the senior rabbi of the Stamford Hill community, whose name is Rabbi Padwa. [Padwa's] whole concern was to berate the father, 'How dare you go and be an informer?' [Padwa] said: 'You ruined his life, [the perpetrator] was ashamed enough by the arrest and what happened, and therefore leave it go. It's forbidden for you to pursue the case'. Rabbi Padwa never expressed sympathy - not for the child and not for the parents."
The anonymous rabbi added that the community then turned against the family. They were told they were no longer welcome at the synagogue and eventually they left the community.
"There is no question that we do not have the ability to police and deal with perverts, deviants, child molesters. We can't - it's above the pay grade of the rabbis," he added.
Rise in vigilantes
Following the secret filming, the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations sent a letter to Dispatches, explaining it had a "robust" system in place to "deal with child abuse".
Although the documentary does not suggest child sex abuse is more prominent in the Charedi community, the orthodox approach to reporting cases means children may be vulnerable to abuse and perpetrators are shielded from justice, say critics.
The film also looks at how some members of the community become vigilantes because rabbis fail to respond complaints of abuse.
Rabbi Yehuda Brodie, registrar of the Manchester Beth Din, told the Jewish Chronicle: "We offer our strongest support for any victim of any criminal act to report matters to the authorities, including the police, as and where appropriate."
The London Beth Din, which represents modern Orthodox Jews, added: "When abuse has occurred, the police must be informed without delay. Local communities should not attempt to deal with the situation internally.
"Delays in reporting abuse can cause vital evidence to be lost, allowing the abusers to continue violating our children.

Narrow Bridge is an independent narrative film produced by IzzyComm Motion Pictures. It is the first film of its kind to break the silence about the existence of sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community and depict the effects of sexual abuse on survivors.
Synopsis
Daniel Schneider is a quiet, shy, 21-year-old philosophy major. A proud Orthodox Jew, he is well liked by professors and committed to his faith. He prays daily and observes the Jewish Sabbath. During a chance encounter, Rachel Goldstein, a fellow student in his Modern Philosophy class, takes an interest in him. The two start out as study buddies, but quickly fall in love with one another. Rachel is inspired by Daniel's devotion to Judaism and slowly becomes more religious herself. She notices that he is mysteriously reluctant to talk about his life before college and his hometown, where he has not visited for four years.
As his relationship with Rachel develops, Daniel opens up emotionally and finds himself uncovering long-repressed memories of how he was sexually abused by his rabbi when he was twelve years old. When he returns to his insulated hometown together with Rachel, neither of them feel welcome in Daniel's tight-knit community. His dark secret begins to distance the two of them. As Daniel refuses to confront his feelings, he watches his life as he knows it slowly unravel before his eyes. Soon he questions where he stands with his family, community, fiancé, and G-d. Narrow Bridge is an exploration of the power of love and faith amid trials, both human and divine.

Saving The Forgotten Jews - BBC News
30 years ago 2 remarkable mass movements transported this community to the modern State of Israel and now the festival has once again become recognised, much like the Ethiopian Jews themselves, as an authentic part of the wider Jewish tradition. This year as Sigd approaches we explore how this community came to arrive in the state of Israel. It is an incredible story of espionage, heroism and unyielding faith that led to tens of thousands of people leaving their homes and risking their lives. We join both those who were instrumental in the operations themselves and members of the Ethiopian Jewish community to explore how these so-called miraculous events happened and what they mean today.

President Duterte visits synagogue to apologize for Hitler remark to the Jewish Community in Makati City. President Duterte visited a synagogue in the Manila metropolis Tuesday to personally apologize to the Jewish community for making a "terribly wrong" comparison between his anti-drug campaign and Hitler and the Holocaust in a recent speech. Duterte had apologized to the Jewish world in a speech Sunday but he visited the Beit Yaacov synagogue in Makati city to press his expression of regret and assure that he was not racist, adding that his wife, now separated from him, has Jewish ties. "I would like to apologize and it comes from the heart," Duterte told members of the Jewish Association of the Philippines. Deriding critics who had compared him to Hitler, Duterte acknowledged he erred...

Channel 4 UK. Dispatches.
A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation has uncovered evidence of religious officials hiding child sex abuse in Britain after secretly filming a senior rabbi telling a victim not to involve the police.
The documentary, Britain's Hidden Child Abuse, shows how some rabbis within a strict Orthodox Jewish community forbid victims from reporting crimes committed against them.
There are around 40,000 Charedin - strict Orthodox Jews - in Britain. During the investigation, reporters uncovered 19 alleged cases of child sex abuse. None had been reported to the police.
Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, who leads the Charedi community in north London's Stamford Hill, is secretly filmed speaking to an alleged victim of child sex abuse.
The victim tells the rabbi how a member of the Jewish community sexually abused him and that he thought Padwa knew who the perpetrator was.
Padwa says in the film: "I imagine that I know [of] whom you are talking. And if I'm correct, we are dealing with this."
The victim asks if he should go to the police but Padwa says no, explaining it would constitute mesira - meaning it is forbidden to report a Jew to a non-Jewish authority.
Padwa continues throughout the film to say the police must not be involved even if more children have been victims. The police are not to be involved them under any circumstances, he says.
Police informers berated
The victim says: "Now I've got a question - if the police found out about it and they called me in, what would you say to me?"
Padwa: "HaShem (Heaven Forbid), let's hope it wouldn't happen. You shouldn't do anything that can lead to the police."
Another rabbi, whose name was not revealed, told the filmmakers how one family had been berated by Padwa after they reported abuse to the police: "The young man didn't know what to do, and out of desperation, he made the decision to call the police.
"The police felt there was enough evidence to take out the perpetrator from the middle of the Stamford Hill community in handcuffs. And this is disgraceful, a scandal," said the rabbi.
"Then [the victim's father] went to the senior rabbi of the Stamford Hill community, whose name is Rabbi Padwa. [Padwa's] whole concern was to berate the father, 'How dare you go and be an informer?' [Padwa] said: 'You ruined his life, [the perpetrator] was ashamed enough by the arrest and what happened, and therefore leave it go. It's forbidden for you to pursue the case'. Rabbi Padwa never expressed sympathy - not for the child and not for the parents."
The anonymous rabbi added that the community then turned against the family. They were told they were no longer welcome at the synagogue and eventually they left the community.
"There is no question that we do not have the ability to police and deal with perverts, deviants, child molesters. We can't - it's above the pay grade of the rabbis," he added.
Rise in vigilantes
Following the secret filming, the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations sent a letter to Dispatches, explaining it had a "robust" system in place to "deal with child abuse".
Although the documentary does not suggest child sex abuse is more prominent in the Charedi community, the orthodox approach to reporting cases means children may be vulnerable to abuse and perpetrators are shielded from justice, say critics.
The film also looks at how some members of the community become vigilantes because rabbis fail to respond complaints of abuse.
Rabbi Yehuda Brodie, registrar of the Manchester Beth Din, told the Jewish Chronicle: "We offer our strongest support for any victim of any criminal act to report matters to the authorities, including the police, as and where appropriate."
The London Beth Din, which represents modern Orthodox Jews, added: "When abuse has occurred, the police must be informed without delay. Local communities should not attempt to deal with the situation internally.
"Delays in reporting abuse can cause vital evidence to be lost, allowing the abusers to continue violating our children.

Narrow Bridge is an independent narrative film produced by IzzyComm Motion Pictures. It is the first film of its kind to break the silence about the existence of sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community and depict the effects of sexual abuse on survivors.
Synopsis
Daniel Schneider is a quiet, shy, 21-year-old philosophy major. A proud Orthodox Jew, he is well liked by professors and committed to his faith. He prays daily and observes the Jewish Sabbath. During a chance encounter, Rachel Goldstein, a fellow student in his Modern Philosophy class, takes an interest in him. The two start out as study buddies, but quickly fall in love with one another. Rachel is inspired by Daniel's devotion to Judaism and slowly becomes more religious herself. She notices that he is mysteriously reluctant to talk about his life before college and his hometown, where he has not visited for four years.
As his relationship with Rachel develops, Daniel opens up emotionally and finds himself uncovering long-repressed memories of how he was sexually abused by his rabbi when he was twelve years old. When he returns to his insulated hometown together with Rachel, neither of them feel welcome in Daniel's tight-knit community. His dark secret begins to distance the two of them. As Daniel refuses to confront his feelings, he watches his life as he knows it slowly unravel before his eyes. Soon he questions where he stands with his family, community, fiancé, and G-d. Narrow Bridge is an exploration of the power of love and faith amid trials, both human and divine.

Czar responded with force. The Czar did not abdicate until 1917, which is typically the
date given for the second Russian Revolution, which, in turn, led to increased pogroms
against the Jews. The pogroms and the economic conditions forced approximately
40% of Jewish population to leave the Russian Empire and go to Western countries
including the United States and to Palestine and other countries as far away as South
Africa and Australia.
Emigration and the Enlightenment presented Jews with the dilemma and opportunity to
maintain or reject their traditional Jewish upbringing, and many decided to forgo their
traditional Judaism and blend in with their larger non-Jewish society. Within the
traditional Jewish world, change was occurring as well, with the rise and acceptance of
the Mussar Movement, an ethical approach to Judaism. Because Jews were not
allowed into institutions of higher education in Eastern Europe, most of them went to
study in yeshivas to sharpen their intellect. The traditional yeshiva, unintentionally,
became a breeding ground for all philosophies, Jewish and secular alike. Zionism
grew as a national movement, and was led by secular Jews antithetical to traditional
Judaism. While most rabbis rejected Zionism and its leaders, because of their
nontraditional beliefs, a minority of rabbis developed religious Zionism, which combined
traditional Judaism with Zionist philosophy. The Old Yishuv Jews, who had settled in
Palestine in the late 1800s, were committed to traditional Judaism and rejected
secular, nationalistic ideas of the New Yishuv Zionists.
The Sephardic Jews living in Moslem and Arab countries at the turn of the 20th
Century maintained their own rich Jewish traditions and heritage, which often differed
from those of the Ashkenazim. There was relative peace within the Jewish community
and among the leadership in these Arab and Moslem countries, and although life was
sometimes difficult, these Sephardic Jews did not experience, by and large, pogroms
or the influences of the Enlightenment or Reform Judaism.
In Europe, Jews were the leaders of the Labor and Socialist movements and
spearheaded the establishment of labor unions in America. The challenge of
assimilation in the United States was the greatest difficulty confronting Jewish
immigrants. Attempts were made to stem the tide. Reform Judaism became a symbol
of acceptance into modern American society and Dr. Solomon Schechter initiated the
Universal Synagogue movement which became Conservative Judaism. Also
Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewish immigrants had to find their respective places within
the Jewish community and in their new host country, the United States, as well..
A small, strong group of American Jewish immigrants managed to cling to their Jewish
traditions and adapt themselves to the new reality in America. Meanwhile, for Jews
around the world, with the threat of WWI looming, the imperial race for supremacy was
escalating.

http://JewishHistory.org Faith and Fate is a documentary telling the story of the Jews in the 20th Century.
The first Episode is called, "The Dawn of the Century" and covers 1900 - 1910.
This episode introduces the uniqueness of Jewish history in the 20th century within the
context of world history. At the turn of the 20th century, Jews were scattered across the
globe, representing only ¼ of one percent of the worlds population. It was a time of
empires, imperial rule and colonial expansionism. In Russia the masses, including the
Jews, lived in dire poverty which was compounded by grassroots antisemitism. In 1905
the Russian masses revolted and there was a general strike. On Bloody Sunday the
Czar responded with force. The Czar did not abdicate until 1917, which is typically the

President Duterte visits synagogue to apologize for Hitler remark to the Jewish Community in Makati City.
President Duterte visited a synagogue in the Manila metropolis Tuesday to personally apologize to the Jewish community for making a "terribly wrong" comparison between his anti-drug campaign and Hitler and the Holocaust in a recent speech.
Duterte had apologized to the Jewish world in a speech Sunday but he visited the Beit Yaacov synagogue in Makati city to press his expression of regret and assure that he was not racist, adding that his wife, now separated from him, has Jewish ties.
"I would like to apologize and it comes from the heart," Duterte told members of the Jewish Association of the Philippines.
Deriding critics who had compared him to Hitler, Duterte acknowledged he erred in referencing what happened to Jewish people under the Nazi leader.
"I mentioned the word Jewish and that was what was terribly wrong and for that I apologize," Duterte said, drawing an applause. "But I'm not one of the racist members of this republic."
In his original remarks on Friday, Duterte raised the rhetoric over his anti-drug campaign to a new level by comparing it to Hitler and the Holocaust and saying he would be "happy to slaughter" an estimated 3 million Filipino addicts.
In that speech, the brash president said without elaborating that he has been "portrayed or pictured to be a cousin of Hitler" by his critics.
Moments later, he said, "Hitler massacred 3 million Jews ... there's 3 million drug addicts. There are. I'd be happy to slaughter them."
His remarks drew shock and outrage across the world. In his apology Monday, he said he had never intended to derogate the memory of the 6 million Jews murdered under Hitler before and during World War II.
Duterte recalled his modest political roots in his speech at the synagogue and what he said was his sincere desire to rid his country of corruption and crime, especially illegal drugs. He sought understanding for his tough image.
"You know it's my character ... I am I and you are you," he said. "God created me to be in this way."

President Rodrigo "Rody" Roa Duterte, also known by the nickname Digong, is a Filipino lawyer and politician of Visayan descent who is the current President-elect of the Philippines after topping the official Congressional canvass for the 2016 election.
Born: March 28, 1945 (age 71), Maasin
Party: PDP-Laban
Spouse: Elizabeth Abellana Zimmerman (m. 1973–2001), Honeylet Avancena
Children: Sara Duterte, Paolo Duterte, Veronica A. Duterte, Sebastian Z. Duterte
Siblings: Jocelyn Duterte, Blue Boy Duterte, Benjamin "Bong" Duterte
Previous offices: Vice-Mayor of Davao City (2010–2013)
Rodrigo "Rody" Roa Duterte (born March 28, 1945), also known by the nickname Digong, is a Filipino lawyer and politician of Visayan descent and is the President-elect of the Philippines, topping the official Congressional canvass for the 2016 election. He will be the first Mindanaoan president of the country.
Duterte is among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines and has been Mayor of Davao City, a highly urbanized city on Mindanao island, for seven terms, totalling more than 22 years. He has also served as vice-mayor and as congressman for the city.
Nicknamed "The Punisher", vigilante groups tied to Duterte are thought to be responsible for the executions of drug traffickers, criminals, gang members and other lawless elements. Over a period of 20 years, he turned Davao City from the "murder capital of the Philippines" to what tourism organisations now describe as "the most peaceful city in southeast Asia," and what numbeo.com ranks as the world's fourth safest place.Nonetheless, Duterte has drawn criticism from various sources, particularly the press and the Philippine National Police leadership in the Aquino government, which contest the effectiveness of his policies.
Duterte had been urged to run for the Philippine presidency numerous times, but he refused these offers until well into 2015 on the grounds of a "flawed government system", old age and opposition from his family.[16] Nevertheless, on November 21, 2015, he declared his candidacy in the 2016 election contest for the office of the President of the Philippines, and won with a landslide victory, garnering 16,601,997 votes. Duterte took office on June 30, 2016, for a term of six years. He is now a 16th President of the Philippines.
