Abstract

How is a research idea born? Can a specific pedagogical activity promote a scientific study? Is it relevant? Would the teaching and empirical work carried out in the Pardés Alef kitá deserve a theoretical approach? To what end? This article aims to provide answers to these questions. It is this text indebted to a methodological approach, where an attempt will be made to show the first steps of an exploratory process, whose theme can be stated as follows: Jewish education and identity in the kitá Pardés Alef del Majón Albert Einstein of the Jewish community in Cuba. Carrying out this scientific research today is a way of extolling what was lived between morot and talmidim, of corroborating the efficacy of Jewish teaching, its projection on identity, and incidence on the sense of belonging to the Jewish people. In other words, a way to make the journey of continuity.
