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.
