What It’s Like to Rekindle Jewish Life in Barcelona After 500 Years of Darkness
With its charming stone alleyways and stunning ocean views, Barcelona is one of Europe’s most visited cities. Tourists pour in to enjoy the sunshine, sports and stunning architecture.

In an interview with Chabad.org, Mrs. Libersohn shares how she, her community and her family have grown in these past two decades.
