80 Members and guests of ICCP visited the Jewish Association of The Philippines and Beit Yaakov Synagogue for a guided tour.

Rabbi Jonathan Goldschmidt gave an informative lecture about Judaism. Participants learned about how Jewish people worship and live. They were able to see a Torah and various forms of Judaica. Participants were also able to ask questions.

Rabbanit Elisheva Goldschmidt also gave a perspective on women in Judaism including the responsibilities of women in the religion.
Executive Director Lee Blumenthal then delivered a talk on the history of Jews in The Philippines beginning in the 1600's until the present day. Including the touching story of how President Manuel Quezon saved 1300 Jews during the Holocaust.

Afterwards a talk on Kosher and what is kosher was given by both Lee Blumenthal and Rabbi Goldschmidt. Guests were also able to have the opportunity to feast on an authentic Kosher Israeli lunch.
