Pushkar, a town filled with religious spirituality, scenic tranquillity and white sandy desert with one of the most wondrous landscapes in India has many secrets hidden in its heart. Pushkar attracts many Indian tourists because of its religious importance. The presence of one of the very few Brahma Temples makes Pushkar a destination highly revered among the Indian pilgrims. 

Apart from being a pilgrimage centre, Pushkar is also one of the prime destinations for the backpacking community exploring India. These people visit Pushkar in multiple countries like Germany, Italy, Spain, and America. But it is the community of Israeli backpackers who come to Pushkar and spend as much time as possible. The local food, stay homes and cafes have been developed to cater to the growing number of Israeli travellers.

A favourite destination for the traveling Jewish community

Chabad Pushkar is located on the main street, right next to the historic Gurudwara. You can get down at the main bus stop and ask any local for the Chabad House and they’ll show you the direction. Chabad house in Pushkar provides all the facilities for the Israeli travellers and acts as a place to worship. It was established by Rabbi Shimshon and Zelda Goldstein from Israel with the aim of giving the young Jewish community visiting India, a glimpse, and teachings of Judaism. 

Chabad Pushkar is one of the very few Jewish places of worship in India. Apart from Delhi’s Paharganj, Mcleodganj and now shut down a branch of Goa, Pushkar’s Chabad house is one of the well maintained Jewish community centres in India. The Chabad also works as a correctional centre for Israeli Youth and a large crowd visits this place on a daily basis.
