Join Congregation Beth Ahabah and St. James's Episcopal Church for a Joint Mission/Social Justice Trip to Cuba, April 2013.    

 

Beth Ahabah and St. James's have a special relationship as neighboring faith communities. In order to build on our legacy of mutual trust, support, and fellowship, we will participate in an interfaith mission/social justice trip to Cuba in April of 2013 with a focus on volunteering and spiritual dialogue.  We will build relationships with each other and in the Jewish and Episcopal communities of Cuba through worship, discussions, and shared community service projects.  Participants should come with open minds and a willingness to get their hands dirty.  Specific dates and costs are still being determined, but we are likely going to be on a 5-day trip.  Due to limited space and the unique character of this interfaith trip, participants will be selected through an application process.  If you are interested please click here for an application.
