Founded in 1884 by the Sassoon family, the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue is the heart of Mumbai's Baghdadi Jewish community and today constitutes a heritage monument managed by a communal trust. Listed as part of Mumbai's architectural heritage, it houses silver Torah scrolls bearing inscriptions in Judeo-Arabic and ritual objects brought from Iraq and Persia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The trust maintains an educational program documenting the history of the Baghdadi Jews who played a central role in the cotton, opium, and real estate trade in Bombay. The institution maintains relations with the David Sassoon Library Trust and the World Mizrahi Organization.
This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.
