As you may know, Kulanu has brought Israel Siriri, chairperson of the Abayudaya community in Uganda, to the U.S. and Canada for a speaking tour which started October 31 and will continue until December 1. We are delighted at the response to this tour -- so far, he has made presentations to fascinated audiences in New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Wisconsin, and New Jersey, and is making his way through Canada followed by North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
You can catch a sneak peek at his presentation by viewing the newly revised Kulanu Abayudaya Slide Show. We've created a Yahoo! Calendar with details of his tour (read more).
