Former Lauder Fellow Abel Hernàndez Eskenazi was featured in an article recently published by Hadassah Magazine. The article details an app he created tracing the 500-year history of the Jewish community of Cuba, where he grew up. Eskenazi developed the app as a Lauder Fellow during the 2021-2022 season and it continues to be a resource on Cuban-Jewish history.
"I believe I am very fortunate to belong to a community that has never allowed the flame of Judaism to be extinguished," Eskenazi said.
