Text transcribed from caption: #908 “INDIAN” JEWS SING IN SYNAGOGUE A group of members of the congregation of “Indian” Jews located on the outskirts of Mexico City sing to the accompaniment of a pedal-organ. The men have their heads covered, as the Mosaic law requires. Orthodox Judaism does not permit the use of any musical instruments within the synagogue, but Mexico’s Indian Jews have probably not heard of this.
