Explore the Jewish story at the heart of multicultural Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles through a guided walking tour that traces the neighborhood’s immigrant, working class roots. Once the largest Jewish community west of Chicago, the area’s main artery was Brooklyn Avenue, now known as Avenida Cesar Chavez, and the route reveals how daily life and community institutions took shape here. The tour begins outside the Breed Street Shul, a landmark synagogue that anchored local religious life, with context about nearby early Jewish educational sites. Participants then learn about the original location of Canter’s Deli and other beloved bakeries and delicatessens where pickle and herring barrels once drew in passersby, along with other former Jewish businesses and institutions that later relocated elsewhere in the city. The route also highlights the Old Mount Sinai Clinic and the early eastside hospitals that would evolve into today’s Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, the former Monte Carlo Russian Turkish Baths, and key sites of Jewish labor and socialist organizing, including the Jewish Labor Committee, Workmen’s Circle, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, and local anarchist and communist headquarters. The founding location of the Community Service Organization is featured to show how Jewish and Mexican progressives built a multiracial coalition that helped cultivate the first generation of Mexican American political and civil rights leadership. The group will not enter the Breed Street Shul and will focus on the surrounding neighborhood. Along the way, the discussion reflects on how a diverse immigrant community came together in the first half of the 20th century, the social challenges residents confronted, the movements they launched, and the forces of displacement that reshaped the area, all to understand this heritage and the issues the community continues to face. This introductory experience is designed for all ages. There are no refunds or future credits for those who miss the event.
