Ceremonial reception: Prime Minister Narendra Modi being welcomed by his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu (right), at an official ceremony at the airport near Tel Aviv on Tuesday. Now, Ms. Itzhak is a professional singer, who has sung Bollywood film and Israeli pop songs, with her first full album, Mala Mala, making waves here. As he surveys the hall at the Tel Aviv fairgrounds, one of the chief organisers, Avner Isaac, says the logistics and funding have been the hardest part. But Mr. Isaac wants to ask for more: his dream is to build a “Jewish-Indian heritage centre” to curate the stories of the Indian community in Israel. I hope we can make this cultural centre so this third generation, and the fourth don’t forget where we came from.”
