them; yet in all other matters they have been accepted by the Whites on equal footing.
To Western eyes this discrimination among Jews themselves appears rather unfortunate. Professor Mendeibaum, who spent some time in Cochin, likens the color-system among them to the Hindu caste system. If, then, one ventures to ask his host how, at a time when unity among Jews in the world is essential, they still maintain a system which is surely without precedent in Jewish so-cifcty � he will smile and disarming^ flash his faultless teeth.
"Do you like 'Jew-Towti' ?"
"Naturally."
�T)o you really like it?"
"Yes � most emphatically!"
"Well, then you must realise that all this would not have been what it is now, had the rules not been observed strictly."
That is their argument It is certainly true that the White Jewish community is on an infinitely higher standard of culture than that of the Blacks. But even granting the need for non-fraternization, one cannot help feeling that the White Jews have done little to help raise the standards of their less fortunate brethren.
Of more picturesque Jewish customs there are a thousand and one. At night Synagogue Lane is illuminated by burning wicks immersed in small cavities in the bousewaUs containing oQ. As kosher meat cannot be obtained in Cochin, families have to do their own

Peel and slice apples. Heat three-quarters cup sugar, water, and vinegar. Add apples and simmer until tender. Then remove apples from syrup, and place them on an unbaked pie crust. To syrup add the remaining sugar, flour, and salt, and cook until thick. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and butter and stir well. Pour sauce over the apples. Put on top crust. Bake in a hot oven for fifteen to twenty minutes, then at 375 degrees for twenty-five minutes.

For the dough mix together: six egg-yolks, three tablespoons oil, three tablespoons of granulated sugar, and one-third glass of boiling water. Then add flour enough to make a medium dough, not too stiff, and not too thick. Place in a well-greased bowl, and leave tightly-covered, at kitchen temperature, for one or two hours. For th6 filling, blanch enough almonds to make a glassful when finely ground. Then beat the six egg-whites well, and fold into the whites one glass powdered sugar and one-half teaspoon cream of tartar. Then fold in the ground almonds. Stretch the dough over a table-top, until it is fine and thin, and sprinkle lightly with ground almonds and powdered sugar. Then spread the egg-white mixture across one side of the dough in a strip about one and one-half inches high. Over that, place Turkish delight, rolled out in a thin strip, and then roll up all like a jelly-roll. Form the pastry into horseshoe shape, and place in a lightly-greased baking dish. Bake in a 375-degree oven for one hour. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar; and cut up in sections as needed.

bai sot bean without HI effects oti "Jew-Town"; there are quite a few cases of insanity. Of late, however, mon of the young men and women of Cochin have gone and married Jews from Bombay and Calcutta.
CocMin itself is very keen, some4-times amusingly so, to enrol fresh recruits into Synagogue Lane. At the moment, for example, there is no family bearing the name Levy Mi their midst. Recently, however, a British serviceman of that name announced his arrival on leave. "Jew-Town" was at once aglow with possibilities, and the eligible young ladies hotly debated the odds of his being a bachelor.
Modern education, too, has not been without its effects. As there are no facilities for a Jewish school, and in any case there arc not enough people to carry it, they send the small children to the local Catholic convent-schools, and from there to the lecture rooms and laboratories of the local Maharajah's College or to the University at Madras.
Now they are asking themselves whether Cochin really is the world. This was perhaps inevitable, considering that they take a keen interest in the lot of their fellow-Jews in particular and world affairs in general. Quite innocently they believe that thingj are becoming dull in Cochin and that there are vast opporUnities oat-side. Hence more and more of them are leaving their homes for the ferro-concrete wildemesi of Bombay and Calcuta.

about CocUa fc i*a Dortng tho war MB? an Anted soldier stationed in tafia spent his furlough there and was accepted unreservedly M one of the family. He probably found matters a bit strange at first The food was certainly strange; so was the fact that in the evening, after the heat of the day, one promenades, up and down Synagogue Lane in pyjamas. So were the pineapple-punch parties moving from house to house; so were the orange, green or purple skull-caps; so were the traces of elephantiasis discernible in the limbs of some of the older inhabitants; and so, too, the discussion groups and games circles among the young ones � taking place in any convenient bedroom with plenty of floor-space, everybody squatting on the carpet, the rolled-up mosquito nets hovering above. But it was only necessary to enter into the spirit of things, and after a few days bewilderment would, give way to absolute "at home" feeling.
Can it last? Will it be possible for the Jews of Cochin to go on living as they have done now for centuries unaffected by wars, revolutions and economic depressions?
It will largely depend on what is going to happen to the State of Cochin when India achieves in-depence. Further, in order to preserve the community, it will be necessary to import several more Jewish families. Where they are to come from and what occupations may be found for them is not Quite clear yet. It seems, however, that it should be possible to find a handful of young European refugee families who are (and that is important) willing to adopt unconditionally an Eastern way of life.
Cochin ia a progressive State, one of the most prosperous in India, and there is little chance of its losing its homogeneity through outside interference. Its attitude towards Jews is therefore not likely to undergo any change,

particularly if new industries and enterprises were to spring up as the direct result of allowing some more Jews to settle there.
The future is full of promise. While the past has amply justified "Jew-Town's" claim to have accomplished a successful experiment in civilization, the future will test its vitality and test. Those of us
who have been there have litUs doubt about the outcome. And even if through various circuzn-sttnces we are prevented from returning there, it was good to learn that there are places in this world where Jews on Passover night raise their glasses, say "Next year in Jerusalem!" and � don't mean it
