Redes y Raices:
A rooted Network For Latin Jewish Families
We are placing families at the center of Jewish life and learning.
Raices: Rooted in Jewish and Latin heritage and learning
Redes: Connected through families and partnerships across the community
Join us as we build local circles of belonging for Latin Jewish families, connecting families, educators, and institutions across North America and beyond.
The need
Why Redes y Raíces?
Many families are raising children far from extended family, often without access to other families who share their language, culture, or lived experiences.
A mother recently told us:
"I've lived here for nine years and still don't know another Latin Jewish family. I'm raising my child in Spanish, but I'm doing it alone."
She is not alone.
Hundreds of Latin Jewish families across North America are seeking meaningful Jewish community that honors the fullness of who they are. Redes y Raíces helps them find one another.
We know this is possible, because we see our impact so far:
1,600+ annual participants engaged by Olamim in the Bay Area and nationally
7,600+ cumulative participants
