Mumbai, India - Jewish Community Safe Following Bombings

Mumbai, India - The Jewish community of Mumbai are safe after a series of bombs claimed 200 lives on the city’s train system.

As Mumbai gets back on track, so does the Indian Jewish community’s, some of their members had a narrow escape Tuesday at the bombings, when seven bomb blasts on Mumbai commuter trains killed 200 people and injured more than 700.

Benjamin Isaac, a director of the Jewish community in India, said the community in Mumbai is safe and the school is "operating normally."
Isaac said some of his colleagues had narrow escapes. One member had just left his train when a train on the parallel track exploded; another was at the station when a bomb exploded at the opposite end of his train.
One man who is working at the educational group as an independent auditor, survived the attack on his train but found himself surrounded by dozens of corpses.
"We have had calls from people all around the world asking after us."

With some 4,000 Jews, Mumbai’s community is the largest remaining in India.
