Cochin Jews

Cochin Jews are a group of people who lived in a place called Cochin in India a long, long time ago. Just like how you have friends who are from different places and have different traditions, Cochin Jews had their own traditions too. They followed a different religion called Judaism, which was different from the religion of the people who lived around them.

Cochin Jews had their own special way of dressing and eating, which was different from other people in the area. They even had their own special language, which they used to speak to each other.

However, over time, many Cochin Jews moved away from Cochin and settled in other parts of the world like Israel and the United States. Today, there are not many Cochin Jews left in Cochin and their traditions are slowly disappearing. However, some people are still interested in learning more about their traditions and history.
