Shavei Israel launches interactive virtual course in Spanish


Spanish speakers can now get an hour-and-a-half dose of "live" Jewish study - entirely online - thanks to Shavei Israel's emissary to Spain, Rabbi Nissan Ben-Avraham, who has developed an innovative, interactive video course on the Book of Joshua.

The Internet broadcast, which will air twice a month, is part of Rabbi Ben-Avraham's outreach to Bnei Anousim - descendants of Jews who were forcibly converted to Catholicism more than 500 years ago - who do not have easy access to Jewish content because they live far from the main centers of Jewish life in Spain.
 
 
And it's not just Spain. The first session had more than 150 participants from as far away as Spanish-speaking South America.

In Palma de Mallorca this past weekend, dozens of people came together for a special seminar for Bnei Anousim sponsored by Shavei Israel. The Shabbaton featured as a special guest the Chief Rabbi of Madrid, Moshe Ben Dahan. Shavei Israel Chairman Michael Freund and Rabbi Eliyahu Birnbaum, Shavei's Education Director, flew in especially for the event.

 

On Saturday night, Ioel Munjeh gave a free concert for the public, performing Jewish and Ladino music at the Caixa Forum in Palma. Munjeh is a Bnei Menashe musician who now lives in the Israeli town of Safed.
