Jubanos: The Jews of Cuba

Directed and Produced by: Milos S. Silber
Language: Spanish with English subtitles
Time: 43 min. Year 2010

Cuba is known for its revolutionary leaders, communism, cigars, and 50’s cars. However , religion does not definethis small island.

When de Cuban Revolution hit in 1961, religion was banned, leaving the Cuban Jewish Community struggling to sustain itself for nearly three decades. Jubanos: The Jews of Cuba, tells the humbling story of the  1500 Jews who remained in the country despite the difficulties: With exclusive interviews from members of the scattered Jewish community, this documentary explores how the new generation re-learned what so many had previously forgotten. The journey to rediscovering and reviving Jewish life raises questions abouth faith, sustance, strength, and the future, which the Cuban Jews continue to face up until today.
