The Jews of Pakistan and Their Forgotten Story
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher explores the history of the Jews of Pakistan, primarily from the Bene Israel community, who settled in cities such as Karachi, Peshawar, and Multan in the nineteenth century. The talk traces the building of communal life, including a major synagogue in Karachi, and the community’s peaceful coexistence before the upheavals following the 1947 partition. It also examines the disappearance of institutions and records and the traces that remain of this once-thriving Jewish presence.
