These are our dreams:
|
|
Assist Cuban Jews
in developing a deep understanding of their Jewish heritage and
ritual practices |
|
Build a bridge of friendship between Jewish
Cubans and Jews from other countries. |
| Assist and encourage educators, both
professional and lay, willing to travel to Cuba to share their expertise. |
|
Send Jewish literature and religious texts in Spanish to
develop community and personal libraries. |
| Take visitors. Our organized trips are not just
to observe life in Cuba. We go to participate as Jewish scholars, rabbis, teachers, or
simply as friends expressing our own personal Jewish values and experiences. |
| Advise and encourage travelers to support our
work as well as the work of other organizations engaged in similar endeavors. We attempt
to always work in harmony toward our common goal. |
| Advise and assist scholars to access necessary
materials for research into the life and history of the Cuban Jewish community. |
| Provide needed medicines, toiletries, kosher
ritual foods, school supplies and other humanitarian aid. |
| Disseminate information on Jewish Cuba through
our website and speaking engagements. |
Assist in the resettlement of those who have
made Aliyah to Israel by
encouraging the development of contacts between these new olim and well-established
Israelis who are willing to be their friends. Through such contacts the Cuban olim will
have the opportunity to develop a better sense of life as Israeli citizens. Their new
friends may also be able to help the Cubans acquire jobs and basic household needs. |
