Overview
Introduction to Malabarism
Malabarism refers to the Judaism of the Malabar Jews, an ancient Jewish community settled on the Kerala coast of southwestern India, also known as the Cochin Jews.
Key Beliefs of Malabarism
The community held to the core beliefs of Judaism — the worship of one God and the covenant expressed through the Torah and its law — while adapting to centuries of life far from the other centres of the Jewish world.
Practices in Malabarism
Religious life followed Jewish observance: the Sabbath, the festivals, dietary law, and synagogue worship, with distinctive local customs and liturgical traditions shaped by the Kerala setting.
Scriptures in Malabarism
Like all Jewish communities, the Malabar Jews revered the Torah and the wider Hebrew scriptures, together with the rabbinic tradition of law and commentary.
Influence and Followers of Malabarism
Closely tied to the spice ports of the Malabar coast, the community maintained synagogues and a distinct identity for many centuries as a small but enduring Jewish presence in India.
Conclusion
Malabarism stands as a testament to the reach and resilience of the Jewish diaspora, preserved on the spice coast of India.
