We would like to invite the community to attend a virtual program with the Kesher Klub Jewish Buenos Aires, led by Rabbi Ruben Saferstein, Doctorate Honoris Causa from Buenos Aires Rabbinic Seminare. Rabbi Saferstein is the person the Winnipeg Jewish community turned to in the mid-1990s when it sought to offset the drop in its numbers, and when many Argentine Jews were not comfortable with the regime of then-president Carlos Menem.
