Sharon and Sharona are the last two Jewish educators for the Bene Israel, a community settled in India for over 2,000 years.  Now numbering only 4,000, this unique Jewish culture is at risk of disappearing within one generation as families such as theirs face the choice of staying in their homeland or maintaining their Judaism elsewhere.
