Jewish Synagogue

The Paradesi Synagogue is not just a place of worship but also a cultural and historical landmark. It houses a wealth of artifacts and treasures that provide a glimpse into the lives of the Jewish community in India. The synagogue's museum showcases rare and antique objects such as copper plates, inscriptions, and hand-painted Chinese porcelain that were used by the community.

Apart from its rich cultural heritage, the synagogue also serves as a symbol of the communal harmony that has existed in Kochi for centuries. The Jewish community has lived in Kochi for over 2000 years, and they have seamlessly integrated into the city's diverse fabric. The synagogue's proximity to the nearby St. Francis Church and the Dutch Palace is a testament to the city's history of interfaith and intercultural exchange.
