PROGRAM GUIDE 5773 SEPTEMBER–DECEMBER 2012
WELCOME
Welcome home to the Jewish Latin Center, a community of Brazilian and Latin American Jews living in the New York Metropolitan area. Since we started a little over two years ago, our year-round activities, Shabbat services and dinners, youth programs and social events have drawn over 900 active members. With great pleasure, we present this program guide for the upcoming season. It begins with our High Holiday schedule and includes a full schedule of events for students, professionals, families and children. Latin American Jews who want to meet others with similar backgrounds or interests can count on the Jewish Latin Center as their New York home away from home. We want you to know and experience the beauty of Jewish communal and spiritual life in a warm, traditional and easygoing environment. We’re confident you’ll find a source of happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction here and we look forward to greeting you personally. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and sweet New Year, Rabbi Mendy & Frumie Weitman
