I was also delighted that he solicited Rabbonim and teachers who might like to get involved in preparing the Abayudaya for formal conversion to Judaism, which they greatly desire. Kulanu is seeking a rabbi, rabbinic student, or experienced Judaics teacher to spend three or more months living in a Ugandan village among the Abayudaya. The village has no electricity or plumbing and transportation is difficult, but the people are kind, intelligent, and eager to learn more about leading Jewish lives in preparation for formal conversion. The language used will be English. Applicants with a public health, health education, or medical background will be particularly useful.
Cultural sensitivity is imperative.
Kulanu will pay transportation and a modest stipend. That said, I would like to point out a few errors in Goldfinger's message that may be misleading. Kulanu prides itself on being an organization in which Jews of varied backgrounds and practices can work together. It's my place to try to inform you the best I can and allow you to make that decision. You will have a chance tomorrow to hear other people teach a class, and we'll be leaving you many books.
