Jewish community of Calcutta !
One couldn't help but wonder why the Jewish community of Calcutta drastically dwindled to only 25 as mentioned in a popular Newspaper ! There was a time when their presence and contribution was felt in various fields. Who could forget the Jewish confectionery Nahoum's in New Market which has stolen our hearts from as early as 1916. The Star Of David-synagogue was built in 1884 by E.David Ezra which still stands. It is indeed the finest synagogue in the world-as Ambassador Alon Ushpiz mentions. We Calcuttans too are proud that it is still here and well maintained !
