Shingley is the historical name of the first Jewish settlement of Malabar (Kerala). Popularly called as Muziris, Kodungallore is believed to be the area where the Jews came to after the destruction of the second temple and even before that. When the Muziris port became unusable in the flood of 1341 the Jews relocated to Parur, Chendamangalam, Ernakulam and Mattancherry. This tour is to the Synagogues and the cemeteries in all these neighbourhoods.
