The Prophet of the Andes.  An Unlikely Journey to the Promised Land, By Garciela Mochkofsky, Non-Fiction, 272 pages

The remarkable true story of how one Peruvian carpenter led hundreds of Christians to Judaism, sparking a pilgrimage from the Andes to Israel and inspiring a wave of emerging Latin American Jewish communities.   Segundo Villanueva was born in 1927 in a tiny farming village perched in the Andes; when he was seventeen, his father was murdered and Segundo was left with little more than a Bible as his inheritance. This Bible launched Segundo on a lifelong obsession to find the true message of God contained in its pages. RSVP here. We will have a pot luck dairy/pareve dinner.
