Kinshasa, D.R.C.

As stated on the main page for revival of Judaism of Central Africa, in early 2000, Rabbi Avtzon was asked by his former classmate and Rabbi of the Jewish Community of Kinshasa, DRC and the senior Emissary for Central Africa to help them expand and open new centers for Judaism in Central Africa.

Rabbi Bentolila is responsible for all Jewish activities throughout Central Africa and regularly sends groups of Rabbinical students for the High Holidays and Passover to Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Freetown, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, etc.

In March 2001, Rabbi Avtzon flew out to Kinshasa for their Gala 20th Anniversary Celebration, at which time Rabbi Bentolila announced the opening of several new initiatives. 

In August 2001, the first Rabbinical Seminary in Central Africa opened its doors for 10 students from New York.
