Judais are the tenants of Apartment 107 in Ahmedabad's Shalom India Housing Society after Juliet and Romiel get married and move to Israel. Each figure who lives in the house has a tale to tell, including encounters with other inhabitants, the shrinking Jewish community, conflicts across cultures, and the challenge of deciding between India and Israel. The Bene Israel Jews of western India believe in the prophet Elijah, who plays a significant role in their life by showing up at pivotal or humorous periods and causing mayhem with his mischief, but who eventually ensures that peace prevails. The women for Bombay Brides are chosen from Jewish houses in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kochi, Kolkata, and Alibaug because the majority of Jewish men in Ahmedabad marry women from Mumbai.
