The HindJews Foundation
Gatherings that honour the living bonds between Hindu and Jewish communities — from sacred ceremonies and festivals to scholarly symposia and heritage pilgrimages.
What's Coming
Our annual joint celebration of Diwali and Hanukkah — two festivals of light from two ancient traditions. An evening of prayer, music, shared meals, and the lighting of both the menorah and rows of diyas in the courtyard of the Paradesi Synagogue.
Register interest
A two-day academic symposium bringing together scholars of Hindu and Jewish history, archaeology, and theology to explore the shared sacred spaces and cultural exchanges that have shaped both civilisations over millennia.
Register interest
A week-long interfaith pilgrimage through two of India's most sacred cities — visiting the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya and the ancient ghats of Varanasi, with guided reflections on the shared spiritual heritage of both traditions.
