Even as the restoration of the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue at Kala Ghoda is still underway, eager members of the Jewish community have begun conducting their prayers on weekends since November 2. The work that began earlier this year is expected to conclude by the end of December and the historic structure will be officially inaugurated in January.

Ralphy Jhirad, a member of the Jewish community said that since the majority of the work is complete, the community leaders decided to resume prayers in the main prayer hall. "The first prayer at the Synagogue took place on November 2 and on the next day for Sabbath. On the first evening, more than 50 people showed up for the prayer," he said. The usual count is around 25.
