SUMMARY:Latin American Jewish Immigrants in the US
DESCRIPTION:
 Presenter: Steven Gold, Department of Sociology, 
 MSU\n
 \n
 Following on the heels of the settlement 
 of Cuban Jews in Miami, in recent decades 
 several thousand Latin American Jews have 
 entered the US, seeking security and economic 
 opportunity. Many of their religious, cultural, 
 and social patterns as well as their notions 
 of national identity and communal membership 
 contrast with those of English-speaking American 
 Jews. This presentation will describe 
 their pre-migration lives, their reasons for 
 coming, experiences of adaptation to the new 
 setting, and ways in which their presence is 
 transforming the rhythms of American Jewish 
 life. Co-sponsored with the Department of Sociology.\n
