Senior Tours - Gil Travel Group

What an unforgettable journey through the heart of Mexico City with the Jewish Federation of San Francisco-Bay Area! Our mission was a vibrant immersion into the "CDMX" spirit, starting with a festive welcome at Guzina Oaxaca, complete with mezcal tastings and handmade tortillas and moving through the breathtaking architecture of Casa Gilardi and the world-renowned Anthropology Museum. From the colorful canals of Xochimilco to the intimate halls of the Frida Kahlo Museum, we explored the intersection of Mexican soul and Jewish resilience, guided by the expert insights of Dr. Sara Aroeste.

The spiritual heart of our trip was felt most deeply during our heritage tours of the Justo Sierra and Mount Sinai Synagogues, tracing the diverse roots of Mexico’s Jewish community. Sharing a warm Kabbalat Shabbat at Bet El and visiting the impressive Centro Deportivo Israelita (CDI) allowed us to see firsthand how 18,000 community members unite through culture, sport, and shared identity. We return home inspired by the warmth of our hosts and the enduring strength of the Mexican-Jewish diaspora. ¡Viva México! ✨🙌
