There is a new rabbi of the city. Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn, white Miami-Dade County moved in May and began Adat Achim Synagogue in Sunny Isles, many of those who convert to Judaism. Since his rabbinical career began more than a decade ago, Cukierkorn, 37, many of these people himself – turned in Europe, South America and China. Welcoming new people important to him as Jewish. “Today we have so many Jews in the world as the day the Americans liberated the concentration camp,” he said. “Next Generation we have negative growth, and we will have fewer Jews in the world. Someone has something to do about it. I believe that as leaders of the Jewish people, we must put on the red carpet we welcome those who are legitimately concerned because the Jews were. They must be offered. “Cukierkorn was born in Brazil and comes from a rabbinic family dating back 700 years. He is a member of the Rabbinic Cabinet of United Jewish Appeal. His conversion process includes an online course for people who are ready for Jew and anyone can convert any part of the world through the online survey and a final exam. “This course gives people the tools necessary to give the Jewish identity in a way that they work on their own time, because today, the environment and situation in terms of mobility, our calendar and other priorities that we create our life, sometimes does not leave many people in a regular course, his conversion to Judaism, “he said. Cukierkorn. currently 30-40 students from South Florida. One of these students, Tatiana Suarez, who lives in Miami-Dade County, is. provided, of course, grateful for the flexibility and learning opportunities. Rabbi Cukierkorn has a very nice way to learn Judaism, “said Suarez.” It is essential. They can always lower. If you do not have time, it gives flexibility to its students. Is that “Rabbi you everything you need to know very well and it takes you through the course. “Happy Cukierkorn with students who have the maturity to learn, work became a Jew.” I think people are beautiful in Judaism, it is to have an adult mind and it would do to “change things for the first time already with a mature mind, “he said. Cukierkorn not only with the maturity of its students impressed, but impressed by their commitment, as well. “Most people I work with, they were able to choose any religion, and Jews and for connection of the Jewish family is most important in his life,” he said. “Congregation rabbi, I have never seen a different group, which opens in Judaism as much enthusiasm as seen converting people, and in general they are Jews wonderful. “Cukierkorn also has provided strong guidance to its students. It is Larry Hudson, a former student who is a Jew, became in 2002″. It is close guidance provided for our family here in Florida, “said Hudson.” He is very skilled in the field of Judaism, and it is a guide for people like us in terms of conversion to Judaism. “Cukierkorn is proud to be an influence on the lives of his students.” Of all my rabbinic duties, ensuring the people gives me the greatest pleasure, “he said.” I have people from New Zealand Argentina and transferred to a small part of their lives is the greatest reward I have in my rabbinic duties.
