The Jews of Mexico City

The Jews of Mexico City
Emily Kane
September 2007

Who knew that Mexico City has such a thriving Jewish community? Emily gives us an inside look from her recent visit.

I walk out of a run-down restaurant, where I had just had the best falafel of my life served to me by a waiter who had spoken perfect Hebrew. I look down the crowded sidewalk, walled with sky scrapers. More kosher restaurants are just down the street. Where am I? New York? Tel Aviv? No, I am in Mexico City; a vibrant city home to over 40,000 Jews.
