Wow Janice - brings back so many memories and re-anchors me in my heritage so much. So glad I saw this - love the class pic with me in the back row. Sad we are all so scattered and Zimbabwe has struggled so much. My cousin still runs the BS Leon Retirement Home in Harare - those are the Jews left. They struggle for funding but make it day to day with generous support. It's just so good to see the impact for the good we had as a community. Would love to catch up with all our old classmates - drop me a friend request if you see this.
Had a wonderful chance meeting here in California with a lovely gentleman who is Jewish and from Rhodesia. My own family are from southern Rhodesia and Indian. Wonderful community and very kind people with superb bison acumen
Very interesting as I was born in Salisbury too - 1966. Just a minor point, but Mugabe did not become president in 1980. See 24:20. He was Prime Minister and Canaan Banana was the president. Mugabe then became president in 1987.
Jewish life is fascinating, eventually some Jewish woman would be pregnant and give birth with a native black man and her child will be 100% Jewish. If the child is a girl all her children would also be Jewish therefore you might as well educate her well in Jewish life and encourage her to marry a Jewish man who could lead the holidays and shabat at home.
