Scores and even hundreds (depending on the season) of Jewish girls and boys come to enjoy the holy atmosphere and the homemade challah and good wine.
Deep in the heart of the Himalayan mountains, in the midst of green pastures, the flock gathers, in festive garb, for prayer, Kiddush and a meal, followed by conversations and songs, deep into the night.
