22 December, 2003 No commentM achon Miriam is a Spanish, Portuguese and Italian language Conversion and Return Institute in Israel directed by the Rabbanit Renana Birnbaum. A big portion of our students are descendants of Anousim, whose ancestors were forced to convert to Christianity during the time of the Inquisition. They hail from a variety of countries, ranging from Spain and Portugal to Peru, Argentina and Brazil. For many of them, undergoing a formal return to Judaism marks the closing of an historical circle, the righting of the grave injustice that was done to their forefathers on the Iberian Peninsula.
Students receive different kinds of support, from the beginning of the process. The ulpan helps them to become acclimatized within the Israeli society, and to find an escort family and an appropriate Jewish community close to the student’s house.
Machon Miriam is named after the late Dr. Miriam Freund-Rosenthal of blessed memory, who served as National President of Hadassah and strongly believed in reaching out and helping Jews wherever they might be. It was thanks in part to her inspiration that Michael Freund, her grandson, founded Shavei Israel.
