The Bene Israel have lived in western India for over 900 years. The film Next Year in Bombay, written and produced by Jonas Parienté and Mathias Mangin, depicts the life of the Jews there today, focusing on one family and its efforts to provide Jewish education to the rest of the community. The film also shows the Bene Ephraim, who live in remote villages of southern India. Many Indian Jews have emigrated to Israel since 1948, and many of those who remain struggle with the decision of whether to join them. The film is available for free viewing during Hanukkah. (Video, 55 minutes).
