Rabbi Ventura addresses the National Congress of Brazil

Rabbi Ventura, now recognized by many leaders of Brazil as an expert on the Converso topic, was invited to speak at the National Congress of Brazil where he addressed the legislative body of Brazil’s federal government in celebrating Israel’s 70^th Anniversary… and speaking to the legislators, passionately, about the Converso phenomenon, its relevance to Brazil, historically, currently and for the future, expressing that some 30% of the Brazil’s population (approx. 70 million people) are Conversos… a mind boggling reality that is slowly being uncovered.

Jewish Heritage Alliance seeks to preserve and promote Jewish heritage. To do so we are creating a Strategic Partner Alliance bringing together a tapestry of people and entities committed to issues, events and concerns relevant to Jewish Heritage. We present topics and bodies of work with “outside the box” thinking intended to educate our diverse audience and bring pertinent, often unique information and events to the fore.

Leading our current efforts is a new platform exploring the Saga of Sefarad, one of the great periods of Jewish history, a period of immense achievements followed by tragedy, and its impact on the Jewish People and the world. This was a watershed moment in the annals of Jewish History, yet it receives scant attention compared to other consequential Jewish historical events.
