The Isthmus of Panama sits at the crossroads of the Americas and is home to its world-famous Canal, one of the busiest trading routes in the world. Unknown to many, Panama is also home to a thriving Jewish Community dating back over a century. Home to more than10,000 Jews, it is the largest continuously existing Jewish Community in Central America and the Caribbean. The Panamanian Jewish community has seen consistent demographic growth due to recent arrival of Jews from other Latin-American countries fleeing political and economic instability. This presentation will give a historical, demographic, social, gastronomic, and spiritual visit to this small but outstanding community. Virtual only program - register at cbict.org.
