A historic meeting was held yesterday (Monday) at the Presidential Palace in Conakry, the capital of Guinea in Africa, between Guinean President Alpha Kunda and Rebbe Rabbi Josiah Pinto - the head of the patriarchal tribunals in Morocco
.
As a reminder, in June 2016, Kunda renewed relations between Guinea and Israel, following a long break in 1967. Now, the two are aimed at expanding Jewish services in the African country, which is visited by many Jews from around the world, mainly for business.

"The honor that you are, Mr. President - is for Judaism and Jews - is a symbol and role model in the world. We must live in peace and respect each other. Guinea citizens are an example of the possibility and respect of each other's religion," "Gd will send you a great blessing and protection", the Rebbe added to greet the African President.
President Kunda told Rebbe Rabbi Pinto that he had heard about the unique activity he is doing in Morocco, among the Jewish communities and in connection with the Muslim residents, "The Honorable Rabbi spreads the light And the best in the world, "he added.
Unusually, after the unique meeting with the President, the Rebbe Rabbi Pinto gave a statement to the local media, which covered his visit extensively.
As you may recall, Rabbi Pinto had previously met with Prime Minister Ibrahim Kasuri Popana in his office.
At the meeting, it was agreed to establish a Jewish center in Guyana, which would serve as an umbrella for all the needs of the Jews visiting the African country, in order to connect and bring the religions together.
Also, during his stay in Guinea, Rabbi Pinto met with many senior government officials and local businessmen.
