In this March 19, 2017 photo, Franklin Perez, listens to a rabbi at a synagogue in Bogota, Colombia. Perez is among nine Venezuelan converts who have had a torturous journey trying to reach Israel. Franklin Perez has lived a Jewish life: he wears a skullcap, gave Hebrew names to his children and even travels three hours by road to Caracas to buy Kosher meat, when he can find it among Venezuela’s crippling food shortages.
