Watch: Kochi witnesses Jewish wedding after 15 years, Rabbi from Israel officiates wedding

Kochi witnessed its first Jewish wedding in 15 years. Rachel Binoy Malakhi and Richard Zachary Rowe, Jews of Indian and American origin respectively, made their marriage vows and exchanged rings on 21st May at a resort. The marriage was officiated by Rabbi from Israel. Wedding ceremony unfolded beneath a symbolic canopy known as Huppah, representing the notion of home. The wedding that was solemnised on 21st May is also the fifth in the last 70 years. The wedding of Rachel and Richard was held outside the Paradesi Synagogue in Mattancherry due to space constraints. The synagogue is a heritage site with restrictions on the number of people who can enter, and the wedding was expected to have a large number of guests. As a result, the couple decided to hold their wedding outside the synagogue in a more spacious location.
