Making aliyah: Meet David Ginboi Gangte
| David Ginboi Gangte and his family |
Here is the next in our series of profiles of Bnei Menashe who will soon be making aliyah with the help of Shavei Israel.
My name is David Ginboi Gangte. I am 51-years-old and I reside in Imphal along with my family: my wife Shira, son Baruch Chayim, and daughters Emuna and Talya. We belong to the Beit El- Langol Jewish community in Imphal, the capital of the Indian state of Manipur.
After retiring from the state's Police Department, I now manage a taxi service in the city. My wife Shira manages the home and looks after the kids' education.
