Brazilian Students Experience Jewish History

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Jewish students from Brazil toured a Moroccan cemetery as part of a recent European trip.

A group of 120 Jewish students from Brazil wrapped up their international Jewish history tour, poring over a slideshow of their journey amidst clapping and cheers at the Chabad-Lubavitch center in Midtown Manhattan. After travelling through Spain, Portugal, Morocco, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey over the course of three weeks, they spent last weekend in New York, visiting Jewish institutions in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and seeking inspiration and blessings at the Cambria Heights resting place of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.
