Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Alibag, a coastal town in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, is one of the historic centers of the Bene Israel community. Several synagogues were built there between the 17th and 19th centuries, including the Sha'ar Harahamim (1840). It is in this region that, according to tradition, Jewish shipwreck survivors of Hebrew origin are said to have landed more than two millennia ago.
