# 135 - Hacia un judaísmo pos-etnico con el Rab. Juan Mejía

In a fascinating episode, we explore with Rabbi Juan Mejía the astonishing (and for some, surprising) phenomenon of tens of thousands of people in Latin America turning to Judaism. We discuss the so-called "emerging communities" and the responses of "traditional" Jewish communities to these conversion processes of families or entire communities. This leads us to discuss a little-known term in Spanish, "post-ethnic Judaism," and a wealth of powerful reflections from our guest. 2 NEW ONLINE VIDEO COURSES FROM PI ELEF: https://pielef.com 1) Introduction to Jewish History I: "The Biblical Era" In this first course, we will cover the biblical period: from Abraham (circa 1800 BCE) to the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem (586 BCE).
