Join us for a discussion with Ernesto Rivera. Ernesto’s journey back to the ways of his forefathers started in 2007, after hearing many stories from the family about being Jewish and the different traditions the family practiced. This journey has been exciting and sometimes challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the Anusim or Conversos from the greater Jewish Community. -
