This is a fascinating discussion. A comment on New York City as a Jewish city: I moved to NYC in 1968 and was amazed to find that many companies included the major Jewish holidays as holidays for everyone so I guess the idea that all New Yorkers were Jewish was true. However, as time passed, the make-up of the city began to change (new non Jewish immigration and the like) and with that the holidays. We now have “personal days” which replaced (but still allowed for) those same Jewish holidays. For me, it feels very different and a lot less Jewish.

What happens when Latin American Jews become immersed in US university discourse? Does it tend to influence their political perspectives? Religiosity?

I’ll turn off my camera for a moment as I have a bite before my 1:30 meeting—kosher tacos? I wish!

Yes, it’s time for the merienda here too. !!!🙂eat calmly Héctor

Thank you, everyone, for this illuminating discussion!
