Tomorrow, Hoboken's Jewish community will learn about the amazing endurance of their Jewish brethren in Uganda when Aaron Kintu Moses, a leader of the Jewish Abayudaya community visits United Synagogue.

Kintu Moses will speak at the synagogue's 7 p.m. services about how his people were religiously oppressed under the regime of Idi Amin. Since the dictator was overthrown in 1979 and religious freedom was restored, Kintu Moses has been fighting to revitalize the Jewish community in Uganda as well as improve the quality of life for others around them.

"He has a very interesting and compelling story," said Rabbi Robert Scheinberg of United Synagogue.

On his Kulanu-Abayudaya speaking tour, which began Oct. 26 and will run through Nov. 23, Kintu Moses will tell Jewish communities across the United States how he has promoted religious tolerance in Uganda, spearheaded a coffee-growers cooperative and run a Jewish-sponsored school where Jews, Christians and Muslims learn together in peace.

Scheinberg said United Synagogue responded well to a previous visit from an Abayudaya leader and expects similar results.

"It's remarkably inspiring what that community has endured as a result of their Jewish commitment," he said, praising their extraordinary endurance.

"(North Americans) live in a bubble," noted Scheinberg. "To have someone to talk with us about what it's like to live in a part of the world which actually is much more similar to how the majority of people on this planet are actually living is very helpful."

Scheinberg added that Kintu Moses's visit coincides with the American Jewish World Service's Global Hunger Shabbat and pointed out that hunger is a bigger problem in areas like Uganda than other countries.

Overall, Scheinberg hopes the visit is a positive cultural exchange.

"It's a good idea for people from diverse Jewish communities to get to know each other and learn about each others' communities."
