Amid pandemic, India’s Jews try to stay safe while offering relief to hardest hit
By Cnaan Liphshiz
(JTA) – Nissim Pingle, the head of Mumbai’s Jewish community center, hasn’t left his home since March.
That’s when COVID-19 began to overtake India. A second wave of infections has overwhelmed its health system and is producing a daily death toll of at least 4,000. The country is on track to have the world’s highest death toll by far, as stories pile up of people succumbing to the disease because they cannot access oxygen or hospital beds.
India’s approximately 7,000 Jews, most of whom live in Mumbai, generally belong to the privileged minority with the means to self-isolate. But even within the community, India’s widely celebrated multigenerational households have increased anxiety about the virus’s onslaught.
