Chassidim, Yiddishists and Socialists of the L.A. Eastside (Jewish Hike)
About Chassidim, Yiddishists and Socialists of the L.A. Eastside (Jewish Hike)
On this months tour we will be exploring more historical Jewish religious and Yiddish cultural sites of the Los Angeles Eastside. Many of my guests love my lengthier walking tours. You have asked for a more extensive and intensive tour, to see some lesser known sites; so this tour will be about 3.5-miles circuit in total. Are you ready?
This sites we will be focusing on will not just be the religious Jewish history of Boyle Heights, we will even be exploring the old labor and leftist political sites of the Yiddishists in the hills of City Terrace.
On this special tour we will discuss the layered spiritual and cultural heritage of our local sites. We will see some examples of how some of these old Jewish sites have found new life serving the Latino community. We will also discuss the challenges locals are facing in preserving the character of these historical sites which are precious to Latinos and Jews alike.
