KOLKATA: Three 19th-century synagogues in central Kolkata with Muslim caretakers have had to heed an advisory from the "authorities" and shut their gates to anyone who isn't Jewish after protests in the city over Israel's military operation against Hamas in Gaza.Some protesters waving Palestine flags were also seen in the stands during a World Cup match at the Eden Gardens, sources said."The three synagogues are shut for an indefinite period, or until further orders...We understand how sensitive things are.
We would not like to do anything that will create tension," said David Ashkenazy, president of the board that runs Beth El Synagogue and also associated with the Magen David and Neveh Shalome synagogues.Even Jewish people need prior permission from the boards managing these synagogues before visiting them.
