The past few months have been packed with exciting encounters. The video below shows a happy outcome to one such encounter, which began with a Facebook message to Kulanu from a member of an Anousim community in Brazil and then evolved into a budding relationship \u2013 and the joyous singing you\u2019ll hear in this recording.<\/p>\n

A new Kulanu community, we provided the funds for Shil do Tatuape to purchase 33 new Portuguese\/Hebrew siddurim! The video shows the community\u2019s gratitude for this gift, which was possible thanks to the generosity of the Good People Fund (www.goodpeoplefund.org<\/a>). Thank you also to Kulanu Board member Daneel Schaechter for coordinating this effort\u00a0– part of a bigger, Good People Fund-supported mini-grant program that provided support to four Latin American communities.<\/p>\n

In Sao Paulo, there are about 70 synagogues, but according to the leaders of this group, none of them are open to b\u2019nei anousim, the \u201chidden\u201d Jews of Spanish and Portuguese descent who were forced into hiding or conversion during the Spanish Inquisition. The Shil do Tatuape community, which numbers about 25 people, is comprised of approximately 70% b\u2019nei anousim; the rest came to have an interest in Judaism on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Though the members have no Torah scroll, they hold study groups and started meeting for Shabbat evening once every two weeks, and for Saturday afternoon Mincha, text-study, and Havdalah, about a year ago. The donated prayer books will help them in their studies and practice.<\/p>\n

Shil do Tatuape welcomes visitors to their community \u2013 contact Kulanu if you\u2019re planning a trip! And be sure to check out the community\u2019s page on Facebook (click here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Another \u201cnew\u201d Jewish community in Brazil is located in Goiania; this one is four years old and on the path to undergoing conversion. They have appealed to Kulanu for funds to help defray the cost of building a mikvah or inviting a beit din to Goiania. Please visit\u00a0kulanu.org\/anousim<\/a> for more about Anousim communities in Brazil and around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
