Synagogues of Mexico (Sinagogas de México)
This program was presented in conjunction with Shalom Chicago, an exhibit at the Chicago History Museum about
the city's Jewish community. The program took place at Chicago History Museum, 1601 N Clark Street, Chicago.
Visitors learned about the significant Jewish population in Mexico and the thriving, active Mexican Jewish population in Chicago.
Mónica Unikel-Fasja, author of Sinagogas de México, gave voice to the incredible architecture and history of synagogues in Mexico and examines what it means to be cross-culturally Jewish.
Presented in collaboration with Spertus, Shalom Chicago is an exhibit at the Chicago History Museum about the city's Jewish community. It illustrates the community's rich history and contributions to Chicago's growth and development through personal stories, rare artifacts (many on loan from Spertus), and engaging multimedia presentations. Over 30 objects from the Spertus collections are on display in this exhibit.
