Summer Trip to Uruguay Strengthens Ties to Global Jewish World
Foz do Iguacu, Parana, Brazil: "On Tuesday, July 30, we went to Iguazú Falls and what we saw was beyond our expectations. The view was simply amazing and astonishing. Being able to be in the midst of something so powerful and beautiful is a feeling that is indescribable. I loved just being in that moment and surrounded by all the waterfalls and rainbows. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen and I am so happy that I got to experience it." - Leila W.
