Explore the rich history of Calcutta's Baghdadi Jewish community with host Alisha Prakash. Rahel Musleah, a journalist, educator, and singer who leads tours through her company Explore Jewish India, shares accounts of her family’s deep roots in Calcutta and the customs preserved by the diaspora. Jael Silliman, a writer and scholar, offers a broader view of the Baghdadi Jewish experience, drawing from her own family history and her ongoing efforts to document and protect the group’s legacy. We learn how these families built thriving networks, traded across Asia, and integrated into Indian society while maintaining their distinct religious and cultural identity.
