When Yiddish Echoed Through the Streets of Mexico
Join us for a Zoom conversation with
Jacob Finkelman
Born and raised in 1950s Mexico City, Finkelman spent his childhood in a community where Yiddish was the language of everyday Jewish life — at home, in school, in the streets, and deep within the soul.
In this conversation, he will share memories of his early years in a Yiddish school, family life, and the rhythms of community — and reflect on how Yiddish continued to live and breathe in Latin America after the war. We’ll also hear about his long career — knowledge management in telecommunications around the world — and about his move to Israel, where he lives today.
