Building Bridges: Latinx and Jewish Communities

Los Angeles has one of the largest Latinx and Jewish communities in the United States. Culture, history, and community are common threads. How do shared values unite us? What can people who occupy both spaces teach us? How is the Los Angeles community unique? And how can we continue to build stronger ties and more accepting spaces.

Panelists include: 

-Antonio Villaraigosa, 41st Mayor of Los Angeles

-Mary Kohav, Vice President of JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) and Community Engagement Programs at The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles

-Rosie Arroyo Board Chair of Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) and Senior Program Officer for Immigration at the California Community Foundation

-Susan Schmidt, Mexican-Jewish chef

Moderated by Dan Schnur, Holocaust Museum LA board member and USC and UC Berkeley Professor of Communications.
