Photo Journal: Tufts Hillel Visits India on JDC Service Trip
by Leah Koenig | August 31, 2010 | 0 commentsRecently, a group of students from Tufts University travelled with their local Hillel chapter to India with JDC Short-Term Service.
They visited India’s tiny but vibrant Jewish community in Mumbai, volunteering at the Bayiti Home for the Aged, visiting local Jewish sites and meeting members of the community. JDC has a significant history working in India (they started back in 1964) and their welfare and cultural programs have helped elderly and impoverished Jews, as well as supported social and religious programming and community building.
The photo journal below shares a glimpse of the meaningful and culturally-rich experience the students shared, as well as the impact they were able to have. All photos were taken by Tufts University student, Adam Shepro. To read his full captioned descriptions, click through to the Flickr page:
