Along the Arabian Sea, Goa’s Jews Explore Their Judaism

For more than a month, Rabbi Guy and Maya Efraim – two of the newest Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries stationed in communities across the world – have been encouraging Jewish pride in the counterculture haven of Goa, India. With an outreach largely geared to the hundreds of Israelis who make their way through the former Portuguese spice trading colony, the couple ensured that this past Chanukah, Jews in that corner of the world celebrated their identity.
