 | | Rabbi Aboud with Bnei Anousim in El Salvador |
When Rabbi Isaac Aboud set out for Mexico in 1984 as part of the now standard Israeli post-army trek, he never expected to meet his beshert- the woman who would become his bride.
But only a few days into his stay in Mexico City, he and his wife were introduced and the rest, as they say, is history - in this case with a little kick of Hebrew salsa.
That unexpected shidduch (arranged date) has resulted in another surprise benefit - this time for Shavei Israel. Rabbi Aboud is our new emissary to the Bnei Anousim community in nearby El Salvador.
While he's not moving from Mexico (he and his wife have 8 children and 12 grandchildren there), Rabbi Aboud will now travel to El Salvador for 12 days each month. His job is to teach Torah and basic Jewish Law to the Bnei Anousim communities in the country.
