Cusco, a city in the Peruvian Andes, at 11,000 feet above sea level, was once the capital of the Inca Empire, and is now known for its archaeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture. Today, it’s a tourist hotspot for Israeli backpackers who have finished the army and travel through South America.
For two decades, the Shluchim, Rabbi Ofer and Mrs. Yael Kripor, worked tirelessly throughout the year to enhance the tourist experience every day, both physically and spiritually, with both a dairy and a meat restaurant, minyanim around the clock, learning classes, and all kinds of interactive Jewish activities.
The preparations for Pesach began a few months ago to organize the huge seder, which involves shechting over thousands of chickens and ten cows to accommodate the thousands of Jewish guests passing through the city this month alone, as well as hundreds of pounds of Matzah and wine.
