The first session, on May 19th, is targeted at high-school and college students; the second session on May 26th will be targeted towards parents and the broader community. We are still looking for more student leaders to help make this a success. Please contact Rabbi Cohen or Ben Lanson (ben.lanson@gmail.com) if you are interested. |

- THREE-PART SERIES ON THE CONVERSO AND LATINO CONNECTION TO ISRAEL Begins on Sunday, April 25th at 1:00 PM. The perfect programming for older religious school students and adults alike, this compelling story of the Sephardic experience begins hundreds of years ago with the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula. This was a profound period of persecution, pogroms, and forced conversions (conversos). However, it was also a time of hope and survival with many of the converso community seeking to hold on to their Jewish traditions in secret, thus creating the Crypto-Jewish phenomenon wherein many descendants of the conversos are making their way back to their Jewish roots, and some are returning to the land of Israel after more than 500 years in hiding.The registration link is: https://www.jnf.org/converso
