Hi!<\/p>\n

I have exciting news that that I\u2019d like to share with you. As you probably know, Kulanu supports isolated and emerging Jewish communities all over the world. Our newest community is one that surprises many people \u2013 it is in Madagascar! A group of families have been practicing Judaism for five years in the capital, Antananarivo.<\/p>\n

\n

Now they are determined to formally convert and gain recognition as part of the\u00a0worldwide Jewish community. More than 42 community members have prepared themselves for conversion. As an essential part of our mission, Kulanu has pledged\u00a0support for this to happen. In May, three rabbis will travel from the United States and Canada as a\u00a0beit din (rabbinic court) to conduct the conversion process. They will also officiate at\u00a0several Jewish weddings, participate in a conference, and enjoy a concert with visiting and local musicians.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m asking friends to help build this far-flung Jewish community by helping us with our \u201ccrowdsourcing\u201d fundraiser on\u00a0jewcer.com<\/a>. This will help with the rabbis\u2019 airfare and expenses associated with the conversions.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thrilled that\u00a0I\u2019ll be travelling to\u00a0Madagascar\u00a0myself with a delegation from\u00a0Kulanu to meet the people and attend an international conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
