INTRODUCTION
The Malecón
From February 4 - 11, 2013 I was fortunate to have taken a truly extraordinary trip to Cuba. The main purpose of the trip was to bring badly needed supplies to several of the Jewish Communities on the island.
My trip was arranged by Synagogue Solutions, an affiliate of Congregation Shaarei Kodesh, Boca Raton, Florida.
I was accompanied by 32 others. Between us we brought hundreds of suitcases full and thousands of dollars worth of medical supplies, clothing, cosmetics, drugs and wherever else you might think of to one of the poorest Jewish communities in the world.
This was truly a very rewarding experience.
I gave several presentations about my trip at Synagogues throughout the Miami Dade and Broward country areas. Many people who were not able to attend and even those who did asked whether I would put the presentation online. I have done so at this site.
The first 14 pages are the text and graphics of the presentation.
(Make sure you try the car quiz on the Cars..Cars..Cars page. Can you identify the make and year all the cars shown? If you have trouble you can hover over each car for the answer.)
The additional 11 pages contain material that was not included in the original presentation. I think you will enjoy this "added" feature.
You may click on any of the pictures as you go along to get a larger view of the image.
I also made a YouTube (below) video of the presentation. I recommend, however, that you view the online presentation on the next pages so you can get a full appreciation of the trip and view it at your leisure. There many more photos and information in the online presentation than in the YouTube presentation.
If you have any questions or comments please free to contact me.
Thank you,
Howie
