Davids versus Goliaths. Jews in Cuba
The Cuban Jewish community has dealt with considerable challenges in order to survive in Cuba. While the friendly, assimilative nature of the Cuban cultural identity led to tens of thousands of European Jews calling Cuba home in the 20th century; it also represented a threat for the preservation of Jewish traditions. The turn of events during the first few years of the officially atheistic revolution did not help either; 90 percent of the Jews left the island-nation, which – on top – does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. Thus, the fascinating history of Jews in Cuba, which can be traced over 500 years back, is that of a struggle “with God and with men”.
