- 'We Are Not Mizrahi, We Are Indian Jews' : A lecture by Professor Maina SinghThis talk is based on Dr. Maina Singh's book 'Being Indian, Being Israeli: Migration, Ethnicity and Gender in the Jewish Homeland'(2009).

Based on extensive fieldwork and ethnographic research conducted among Indian Jews across Israel between 2005-8, the book draws upon over 150 interviews and reflects the author's own deep engagement and familiarity with Israeli society and the complexities of ethnicity and class that underlie the cleavages within Israeli Jewish society.(Nov. 19, 2009)
