Mission Trips
Educational Mission trips to Israel and Mexico
The Center for Latino-Jewish Relations takes great pride in creating bonds between our two ethnic groups by inviting Latino leaders to Israel and Jewish leaders to Mexico. The goal of these Mission trips is for each group to learn about and understand the needs and problems faced by the other group, and how they each overcome adversity.
Israel Missions
CLJR invites religious, business, political, and other Latino leaders to an all-expenses paid 8-day educational trip to Israel. During their time in Israel, the participants interact with all segments of the Israeli population, visit such important sites as the Yad Va’Shem Holocaust complex, major Jewish and Christian religious sites, attend a young people’s Shabbat, meet with people along Israel’s borders, receive educational briefings on the Middle East, its historic and political realities, and sample a wide variety of Israeli culture including a serenade by Israel’s own Mariachis and party meet with Latinos who now live in Israel.

Mexico Missions
CLJR invites Jewish leaders to visit Latin America and learn about how people from these nations see both their relationship with the Jewish people and Latin American-United States relations in general. These visitations provide Jewish leaders with insights into the Latin American-Jewish community and a greater understanding of how leaders from these nations see their relationship with the United States. Delegates will hear how Latin American political leadership views the U.S.-Mexican border, issues of immigration, and understand how Latin American leaders view their relationship with what they call “el coloso del norte” (the colossus of the north).
