Welcome. Brukhim haba'im.
Throughout history, a shoreline has symbolized travel, exploration, commerce, and sometimes escape.
Through exploration and education about the historic, linguistic and cultural roots that binds the heritage of thousands of Mexican and Jewish Americans, CLJR’s goal is to help establish important linkages and relationships.
