What opportunities will there be to meet with the Jewish community or attend synagogue?
There is no Jewish community in Tamale. However, volunteers have often made Shabbat with the group and the group is encouraged to study Jewish texts on development issues. Most volunteer groups have found that there has been a lot of informal talks amongst the group about how their experiences abroad relate to their Judaism. There is a very small Jewish community in Kolkata, and past volunteers have made contact with the community. We hope to rediscover this community and renew contact in the coming months.
