Thanks - The US still has a crazy embargo on Cuba, fueled by the angry expat
Cuban community in Florida. As a result, travel to Cuba from the US is
tightly constrained. As a result, we could only go to Cuba legally in the
context of a specific license issued by the US to a religious organization -
hence the focus on the Jewish community.
Anyone wanting the gory details of the embargo can look at
