Through our partner in Burma, Myanmar Shalom, we will enable individuals to know and understand this
fascinating country,  and to explore and experience its rich archaeological sites, many cultures, glittering pagodas, colorful bazaars, and joyous festivals. Above all, we will reconnect Jews from other parts of the  world to
this small Jewish community. In so doing we will keep the Jewish spirit alive in Burma, and once again
fill the quiet but very beautiful Rangoon synagogue with joy and with song.
