Shalom Friends,
This past week the Jewish community of New Mexico was honored with a visit by the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency, Ron Dermer. Ambassador Dermer spoke to our community in the most passionate and intelligent terms about modern day Israel. Everyone in attendance was truly awed by his cogent and heartfelt talk in which he shared much more than a canned speech. He spoke from the heart and shared in a very candid manner, the tachlis, the essence, right now, regarding Israel.

Its less than half as far to Albuquerque as it is to Dallas. El Paso is kind of isolated from the rest of Texas, and is on Mountain Time like NM instead of Central like the rest of Texas.
Are there many modern orthodox Jews in El Paso who are also politically conservative? How about those who attend Chabad?
Are the non-affiliated Jews mostly Dems?
When I read the EP was 80% Hispanic, I presumed the city is run by Dems.
Then I see this

Like most places, the number of Jews in El Paso and NM is irrelevant for voting purposes.
Its been a few years since I spent time there, but my experience has been that even among Modern Orthodox, conservatives are less than half. Chabadniks are conservative, but most attending Chabad services in these kinds of places are going to be typical liberals who are more or less secular.
A lot of people there are very interested in crypto-Jews and Anusim that are from Spanish backgrounds.
Excellency is proper diplomatic protocol and etiquette for addressing a foreign ambassador.
Sounds odd to the ear.
Not much between Aqua Prieta and I 10 but a moonscape no man’s land.
Thanks for filling that in. I saw that Anusim are mentioned in many articles I read about Jews in El Paso.
