A moving tribute at Moshav Nevatim 🇮🇳🤝🇮🇱
The statue of Maharaja Jam Saheb of Nawanagar (Gujarat) was unveiled in Nevatim honouring his exemplary compassion during World War-II. He adopted hundreds of Polish children including Jewish children and built a home for them in 1942 at "Balachadi". It saved these children from the horrors of World War II.
Amb. JP Singh recalled the “Good Maharaja’s” compassion — a beacon of hope reminding us that humanity rises above all boundaries.
Amb also lauded tireless work of scholars & volunteers of Indian Jewish Heritage Center(IJHC) and Cochini Jewish Heritage Center(CJHC) which keeps our shared heritage alive.
Joined by Amb. of Poland Mr. Maciej Hunia, Michal Weiler Tal (MOFA), Dr. Kenneth X. Robbins, Swami Shri Hariprasad, Rafi Bhonkar, and Dr. Nehemia Shahaf. 🇮🇳🇮🇱

INCREDIBLY WELL DONE BOYS! 🇮🇳💙
I visited the Chittorgarh Fort when I was 10, on a family holiday.
Have never been back.
But I should.
Because when I checked online, it turns out it’s the largest fort in the world!
Approximate Global Ranking:
🥇 Chittorgarh Fort, India ~700 acres (2.8 sq. km)
🥈 Kumbhalgarh Fort, India ~1,100 acres (4.5 sq. km), walls 36 km long
🥉 Nanjing City Wall, China
Yes, Kumbhalgarh is the second largest in the world.
(Chittorgarh and Kumbhalgarh are fort cities, not boundary walls.
They enclosed self-sufficient communities and were built to withstand sieges, not to demarcate empires.)
And yet, they rarely appear on the ‘must-visit’ lists for global travellers.
They’re not even on the extended Rajasthan “Golden Circuit”:
Jaipur → Jodhpur → Jaisalmer → Udaipur.
We need to tell their stories differently.
“A kingdom that refused to yield. A fort that never fell.”
Illustrate these stories through specialised experiences:
sunset drives along the ramparts, private storytelling sessions, and expanded comfortable accommodation.
We already have a Club Mahindra at Kumbhalgarh, and we’re pleased to have helped build its popularity.
Perhaps it’s time for one at Chittorgarh too.
