Shavei Israel Q&A - Jose Manuel Camarero
| Jose Manuel Camarero |
Jose Manuel Camarero has been fascinated by Judaism since he was a teenager. Ten years ago, he began to actively explore his Jewish roots. Today, the 65-year-old retired high school teacher from Granada, Spain, is creating beautiful Jewish art.
Here is one of his paintings, illustrating the story of the "Song of Songs."

In the 19th century, the rubber boom in South America brought about a social and economic transformation of the Amazon region.
Thousand of immigrants from the other side of the Atlantic, including numerous young Moroccan Jews, made their way to South America searching for better opportunities.
In recent years, a growing number of these Jews of the Amazon have begun to reconnect with their heritage, leading several hundred to make aliyah with Shavei Israel's help.
