Today, 90 percent of one of the world’s wealthiest Jewish communities lives in a mountainous area: the Beverly Hills of Mexico City. Ironically referred to by many young Jews as “the ghetto” or “the shtetl,” this luxurious neighborhood meets every need. If you’re Jewish, you go to the Jewish school next to your house in the morning, the JCC in the afternoon, and then the nearby synagogue in the evening. You see the same people, move in the same circles, and talk about the same things. While the community’s isolation reinforces a strong sense of identity, it also perpetuates a fear of the outside world.
