Invitation to Tour South Africa and its Jewish communities

Invitation to Tour South Africa and its Jewish communities

Dear Jewish Community Leader,

I am Ivor Heyman, Director of Faith & Resilience South Africa (Faith). Faith is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to discover Jewish communities around the world that have been successful in adapting to local conditions while staying true to their traditions.

Of all Jewish communities around the world, none exemplifies the tenets of faith and resilience as much as the South African Jewish community. We would like to invite you and interested members of your community to gain an inside view of four communities in South Africa that have been able to preserve their
traditions and their faith amidst the swirling tides of change and uncertainty that now affects Jewish communities globally.

In addition to meeting community leaders and seeing first hand how these communities have been successful, our visitors will be able to experience much of the natural beauty that makes South Africa such an attractive tourist destination. After the Jewish portion of the trip ends, interested visitors can also sign up for an optional three-day safari that we have organized at one of South Africa's premiere game reserves.

This tour will introduce you not only to places, but to the people that have been key to the success of the communities in which they live. Owing to the personal nature of the trip, space is limited, and we encourage you to register online as soon as possible.

Please forward this invitation to others who might be interested in this once in a lifetime experience, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Ivor Heyman

Director
