La rabina Barbara Aiello es la fundadora del movimiento B'nei Anusim en el sur de Italia y directora del IjCC (El Centro Cultural Judío Italiano de Calabria). Su obra ayuda a las personas con herencia italiana a descubrir y abrazar sus raíces judías. Aiello también es la rabina de Ner Tamid del Sud, la primera sinagoga activa en Calabria en 500 años desde la Inquisición.
In Calabria, Italy, a family gathers as a rabbi unveils a 1783 Torah scroll, revealing a hidden Jewish heritage practiced for centuries. As she navigates challenges from traditionalists, the rabbi seeks to uncover the lost roots of the community, blending faith, history, and the journey toward understanding.
Drawing from ten years of experience as a resident rabbi, the author compiles heartfelt stories from elderly individuals in Jewish care facilities across North America. These narratives, originally guest columns for the Sarasota/Manatee Jewish News, reflect the profound life wisdom shared by residents, offering insights that resonate with themes of humility and compassion. The book serves as both a tribute and a thank you to those who imparted their experiences, enriching the author's journey and fostering a deeper understanding of life’s lessons.
