THE KERALA MARRIAGE: KOCHI's FIRST JEWISH WEDDING IN 15 YEARS | Rabbi from Israel officiates wedding

In a remarkable event, Kochi celebrated its first Jewish wedding in 15 years. Rachel Binoy Malakhi, hailing from India, and Richard Zachary Rowe, an American, tied the knot on May 21st at a resort. The ceremony, witnessed by a multitude of guests, was officiated by a Rabbi from Israel beneath the symbolic Huppah, signifying the concept of home. Due to space limitations at the historic Paradesi Synagogue in Mattancherry, the couple opted to hold their nuptials at an alternate venue. Notably, this union marks the fifth Jewish wedding in the region over the past 70 years, making it a truly momentous occasion.
