Vacations are on our minds... Where to
go? What to take? That’s what I was
thinking about when a congregant asked,
“But rabbi, when you are on your
vacation will you wear your kipah?”
When a couple chooses to mark this
special event in Italy,  they have
truly selected a Jewish experience!  
We Italian Jews represent the  very
first Jews in the Diaspora.

As you plan for your special day,
there are so many things to consider
and  many decisions to make.  And
one of the most important of all is
your ceremony.

Southern Italy Through Jewish Eyes
Rabbi Barbara Aiello
Italy's First Woman Rabbi
This exciting journey focuses on the
B'nei Anousim, its ancient  Jewish
presence in Italy, and the rebirth, after
500 years, of modern Jewish life in
Calabria - the "toe" of the Italian" boot."

The highlight of the Calabria experience
is a Symposium at the WWII
Concentration Camp at Ferramonti.
Three survivors will describe their
experiences as children in the Camp with
the local Italians who saved their lives.
