Bombay (Mumbai)בומביי

Western India — Baghdadi + Bene Israel hub

Bombay (now Mumbai) hosted three distinct Jewish communities: the Bene Israel (ancient Konkani Jews), the Baghdadi-Sephardic community (led by the Sassoon family from the 1830s), and the smaller Cochin-Indian community. R. Avraham Reuven (Halevi) and the Sassoon family endowed Bombay's central synagogues and schools.
