The New Mexico Jewish Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Jewish communities in New Mexico. With a focus on both Ashkenazi and Sephardic cultural traditions, the society conducts ongoing research, organizes lectures and conferences, maintains archives, and publishes a quarterly newsletter. Through educational programming, they aim to ensure that the contributions of Jewish individuals and organizations to the development of New Mexico are recognized and appreciated. Established in 1985, the New Mexico Jewish Historical Society is committed to telling the stories of the diverse Jewish groups that have shaped the unique character of New Mexico. From early Spanish arrivals with Sephardic roots to European Ashkenazi Jews who became leading merchants, the society highlights the significant role played by Jewish communities in various aspects of life, including business, commerce, ranching, mining, and social organizations. By sharing this history, the society aims to educate the public and foster a deeper understanding of the Jewish experience in New Mexico.Generated from the website
