A survey of available sources and studies regarding the Bene Israel indicate that, hitherto, little attention has been paid to their interaction with their surroundings prior to contact with other Jews. In order to gain an understanding of Bene Israel life before the migration to Bombay in the 18th century, which brought them into the greater Jewish sphere, it is necessary to survey the surroundings in which they lived along the Konkan coast and the socio-economic niche they succeeded in creating which allowed the community viability. |
