The time of Tolerance in Jew Town in Cochin Kerala

This clipping was sent to me this morning by Elias Babu the Last Jew of Cochin, as I call him.
Each time I am in JewTown in Cochin, I go by the house of Sarah Cohen and Taha is almost always present there, and I personally thank him for looking after this elderly jewish lady. Thoufeek is an extraordinary calligrapher in Hebrew as well as some other archaic texts. He now works as a sous chef in Dubai.
A year or so ago, during one of my visits to Sarah's home, I noticed that some filming was going on, photos were being taken and I piped a sentence or two.
But did not expect to see this picture of me with Taha, Sarah and Toufeek!
I look forward to seeing the documentary!
A good symbolism of the tolerance and acceptance in Cochin and Kerala
