Join us for the fourth and final session in our online From the Mediterranean to the Northern Lights: Jewish Journeys Together series for a Jewish exploration of Finland.
The Finnish Jewish community is a small but active community that encompasses a synagogue, a Jewish school, Chabad house and sports activities by the only Maccabi in Europe that did not stop operating during World War II.
Today the Finnish Union of Jewish Students is one of the most active ones in Northern Europe and has been recently awarded the prize of the Developing Union of the Year by the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS).
Finland is the northernmost Jewish community in Europe and its traditions and active Jewish life is as diverse and alive as in any big city elsewhere.
About our speaker:
Beto Guzman, our guide, is originally from Mexico but has lived in Helsinki since 2015. As an activist and community organizer, he has been working and volunteering in the Finnish Jewish community first as a Moishe House host and even starting the Finnish Union of Jewish Students.
This series is made possible by a grant from the Congregation Ahabat Shalom Religious Fund and other generous donors.
