latinx jewish belonging for families
Children touch multiple worlds–the world beneath their feet, the world of family, and of the many cultures that surround and support them.
Olamim exists so children and their families can be part of many worlds together, so that we can build a World in which all worlds belong. . .
“Un mundo donde quepan muchos mundos.”
- Zapatista Principle
Olamim means “worlds” in Hebrew
Our Work
Olamim’s family engagement program for Latinx Jewish families blends nature connection, cultural expression, and community-building.
Olamim offers:
Spanish-language playgroups and camps
A year-round Chavurah (family group)
An annual retreat
Community programs (open to the larger community)
We also engage in research, documentation, and advocacy as part of our activities.
our vision
We view access to heritage language and culture as a right for all communities.
We see our belonging to multiple cultural communities as a strength, as well as an obligation to solidarity.
“It was such an exciting space to be in… where these worlds merged outside of our home with other children and families who have similar experiences.”
— Vivian Santana Pacheco
