Jews leave a digital footprint on Kolkata - The Times of India KOLKATA: Jael Silliman, at 59 one of the youngest members of the dwindling Baghdadi Jews community in Kolkata, has stitched together a remarkable digital archive that traces two centuries of the community's story. The project not only puts to rest the community's fear about their future and vulnerable past once this last strand snaps, it will also enable Jews who emigrated to reconnect with the city of their birth. The community that was 3,000-strong at the time of Independence saw an exodus to the Promised Land after the birth of Israel a year later. http://bit.ly/1tIEvmu Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Jews-Leave-A-Digital-Footprint-On-Kolkata/articleshow/41024478.cms See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1tIEvmu+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=archives-nra
