I flew to Mexico to meet the Jews of Mexico!
This is Month 4 of my Jews Around The World challenge.
In Mexico I found:
Jews who speak Arabic, Hebrew and Spanish
Arab Jews whose families fled Syria and Lebanon
Ashkenazi Jews whose families escaped The Holocaust
A Mariachi band playing Jewish songs
A Mexican Jewish Tequila company
Multiple Kosher taco stands created by Mexican Christians
But the most amazing thing I found was: A country that allowed their Jewish community to be free, to thrive, and to become an important part of what Mexico is today.
I have visited Jewish communities all over the world. Often times, people have to hide their identity. But in Mexico, they have never had to hide. They have always been proud Mexicans and proud Jews.
