Monkey Business at Jewish Girls’ School in Calcutta
India’s Express News Service reports:
Much to the amusement of students and teachers, a monkey sneaked into the campus of Jewish Girls’ School today and caused quite a stir. However, it also attacked a few students when they came near it. The incident occurred at 10.30 this morning. After watching its antics for some time the locals caught it by using a net. Later the simian was handed over to Park Street Police and is now being kept in a separate cell.
Who knew there was a Jewish girls’ school in Calcutta?
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
