This is a fascinating journey into the past of the Jewish immigrants who arrived in Mexico almost a hundred years ago and settled on the streets surrounding the old La Merced market in Mexico City's Historic Center. Old neighborhoods housed them. In their rooms, they recreated ancient customs and traditions. There, they studied, prayed, created tailoring workshops, and opened Jewish grocery stores, kosher butcher shops, and European-style bakeries that hadn't existed before their arrival. We'll see the place where the midwife, the mohel, the rabbi, and the cook lived, among many others. We'll visit two beautiful synagogues: Monte Sinai, the first in Mexico, inaugurated in 1923, belonging to the Damascus community, and Nidje Israel, the Historic Synagogue, founded in 1941 as the first Ashkenazi synagogue. We'll also enter two neighborhoods steeped in history and walk through the streets to see many sites related to the immigrants' daily lives.
