The Mystery of the Jews of San Nicandro
Sunday, 2 April, 2017 • 6 Nisan 5777
7:30 PM - 9:45 PMLodzer Centre Congregation, 12 Heaton StreetThis film is presented by Kulanu Canada, which is seeking to educate Canadian Jews about the Anousim, the returning Jews of southern Italy, and to raise funds to produce a multilingual siddur for these re-emerging Jews, descendants of people forcibly converted to Catholicism hundreds of years ago.
Rabbi Barbara Aiello is Italy’s first female rabbi. She spoke at Darchei Noam three years ago, sponsored by the Jewish Diversity Committee, which is also co-sponsoring this program along with a neighbouring shul.
The film depicts the secret life of Italian Jews who underwent a mass conversion to Judaism in Fasicst Italy, reclaiming their historic roots.
There is revival of Judaism in southern Italy, supported by Rabbi Barbara, who opened the first synagogue in Serrastreta and now has congregations in Sicily, Pugalia, and Sardinia.
