India is a place that's really hard to put your finger on. When people ask me about my trip, my responses can't really convey what I got out of it. It puts a lot of things in perspective in terms of poverty and wealth. It helps you understand your own place in Judaism. |
India is one of those places that has a reputation – the beggars, the slums, the dirt – but the friendliness and hospitality surprised me. |
The Jews of India are unique in that they're Indians before they're Jews because their society is so welcoming toward them. |
