Grand Opening of Sephardic Anusim Exhibit in the Negev
Dear Family of God,
I'm sure you remember David's famous Psalm 23,
particularly verse 5, ". . . my cup overflows."
That's exactly the way I feel these days because of
the constant breakthroughs Abba continues to grant
us; but also due to increased work. This next verse
gives you a picture of the rest of how I feel: "Surely
goodness and love shall (does) follow me. . ."
After being in dispersion for 516 years since the
expulsion from Spain, my people, the Sephardic
Anusim Jews finally have our side of the story to tell.
On Columbus Day which also happens to be
the eve
of the Feast of Tabernacles, October 13th, we
are
celebrating the GRAND OPENING of our first time
ever
Sephardic Anusim Historical Exhibit in the Negev of
Israel. (Please refer to attached poster)
Some have asked, "But why the Negev?" The reason
is because close to 2500 years ago, the Bible prophet
Obadiah prophesied, "The exiles of Jerusalem that
are in Sepharad (Spain) will repossess the Negev."
(Obadiah 20b)
The leadership and friends of our center, the
Sephardic Anusim Center of the Americas, together
with the host of Anusim Jews that are in diaspora
invite you to join us at this momentous occasion. Our
guests include a delegation of American Anusim and
friends from around the world who are visiting Israel
during this holy Feast of Tabernacles.
We are much honored to have as keynote speakers
top Israeli leaders and officials representing different
institutions in Israel. We will also be blessed with
music from accomplished Israeli artists under the
direction of Andre Gasiorowski, director of Helping
Hands Coalition. Various Israeli institutions such as
the JNF/KKL and other Evangelical Zionist
organizations will also be represented in this
celebration.
The entire exhibit has been donated to our Center by
Jodi and Richard Keehn of Colorado. It consists of
hundreds of objects portraying the Sephardic Anusim
history since time immemorial. All we need to do is to
get it to its new home!
Our goal is $30,000 in order to package, ship and
install this exhibit by the first of October for it to be
ready on time for our grand opening. Unfortunately,
we'd initially estimated around $20,000 but due to
increased fuel prices and other related items, it's
costing us significantly more to get this done but we
do it with firm faith. (See Isaiah 7:9)
I am asking if you would collaborate with us in placing
our historic exhibit in its new home in the Negev as it'll
serve as the official mascot for our new
Sephardic
Anusim immigrants returning to the land of their
forefathers in the Negev.
This event is extremely significant for two reasons.
First, it's significant because of what Obadiah
prophesied regarding the return of Sephardim to the
Negev. And secondly, because of Jeremiah's
prophecy which declares: "The cities in the
Negev will
be shut up, and there will be no one to open
them." (Jeremiah 13:19)
The miracle is that after 2500 years since this
prophecy was released; at last, God is ready to
reopen it with its heirs, the Sephardim that have been
living as Crypto-Jews throughout the Americas and
beyond.
Thank you so much for caring, praying and
contributing as the Lord may lead you to do so. I am at
your disposal if you would like to contact me
personally. My wife and I will be in Israel July 19th -
31st so please pray for us. Who knows, the Lord
might inspire you to sow into our journey as well?!For
expedience sake, you may want to send your donation

Shalom y Hasta Luego,
Dell F. Sanchez, Ph.D.
