One heart, two worlds
the story of the Jews of Kochi
by K. S. Mathew, Yamini Nair, Bhawani Cheerath, and Ajay Menon
"One Heart Two Worlds is a walk down memory lane, soaking in the astonishing beauty of Cochin's waning Jewish culture, and the community's distinctive history, lores, life, faith and dreams. The book, a first-of-its-kind, dives deep into the everyday life and times of the Jews of Kerala, sifting through handwritten song diaries, evocative memoirs, tinkling rolling pins, kosher recipes, Hebrew plays and synagogue rituals, intrinsic to the community's festivities. Navigating the course of Jewish history, the saga winds through the days of King Solomon; the Holocaust in Europe; the Zionist movement; peaceful times on the Kerala coast; the mass immigration, Aliyah, to the Promised Land; and finally, the stark reality of the present - as a mere handful of the community remains in God's Own Country"--Front flap.
