"The understanding of a culture comes from hearing the language, tasting the food, seeing personal interactions, experiencing the traditions, and so much more when it is in context."
— Elizabeth Laval & Candice Pendergrass, Sikh Youth Public History Project
The Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights has been in the headlines recently because of fights over displacement and gentrification. But it has an inspiring history of inclusion dating back a century. Jews lived alongside Latinos, African-Americans, Japanese, Russians and many other first- and second-generation immigrant communities, and found common purpose in shared struggles. Avishay Artsy will lead a walking tour that introduces you to the buildings and people that make up the rich tapestry of Boyle Heights. Kosher bagel brunch included with ticket.
