Erica Cohen Lyons I am Hong Kong based and I am launching a new not-for-profit magazine called Asian Jewish Life (www.asianjewishlife.org) in January 2010. The magazine is a celebration of diversity as well as a way to connect Jews living throughout Asia and Asian Jews around the world. Asian Jewish Life is looking for submissions- please contact info@asianjewishlife.org for more information.

Harriet : We met the former President of your Organization in El Paso Texas. And would like to reach out to you about what we are doing for the Anusim Community along with the Arbarbanel Foundation. Please let me know when it would be best to reach you. Thanks

Ruth This looks like a great organization, I wonder, however, why none of the "lost" and not lost (for example, the Beta Israel) communities in Africa are not marked...:

Shavei Israel

Perhaps there is a possible connection, some contribution that Kulanu could make to this organization in this regard... ;.)

Ruth, DNA means nothing in Judaism and the lemba accept j as moshiach and therefore not considered Jewish, also their history is a bit sketchy with Jewish connections etc, on an individual basis they could return to Judaism but not as a community.

The history of SA Jewry is amazing and interesting, if you would like to know more feel free to let me know

Esteban Is there any contact person for the anusim movement in Baltimore? Can you visit a temple as a visitor?

Adam Glantz

Adam Glantz Question for everyone out there with knowledge of our anusim brethren. I'm willing to bet that there are descendants of anusim / "conversos" / crypto-Jews in the Philippines and the former Portuguese entrepôts of Goa, Daman, Timor and Macau. Does anyone have any info?

Adam Gold

Have you tried such groups as the Anousim group on Yahoo? The moderator there should be able to help, let me know if I can be of any help
