Asociaci\u00f3n Jud\u00eda Reformista de Guatemala Adat Israel in Guatemala City<\/a>, a Kulanu partner community affiliated with Rabbi Elyse Goldstein of Toronto, Jonathan created a personal fundraising page and has already raised $1,595.<\/p>\nThe funds will go towards new seating for the growing congregation, a play and learning area for children, and a ner tamid (eternal light) for the Ark. In addition, some funding will be used for food staples for Passover. “Because of where they are, they do not have access to many Jewish foods or items we can get here, so this money will help them with that,” said Jonathan.<\/p>\n
Jeannette Orantes is excited to finally have materials for teaching the community’s children Torah, Hebrew and special traditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
