About the Event
NO PASSPORT REQUIRED! Monica Unikel-Fasja is the director of the first synagogue in Mexico. She is the granddaughter of Polish-Jewish immigrants, and for more than 24 years, has dedicated herself to trace the legacy of Jewish migration in the early 20th century in the streets of the downtown of our Mexican capital. Her experience led her to participate in the restoration of the Justo Sierra Synagogue, a space that for the last decade has operated as a cultural center. Monica is also the author of the book “Synagogues of Mexico” and producer of the television documentary “The synagogue of Jesus Mary and other stories”. Please register in advance.
