The McAllen Story
Several hundred Jewish families live in this city along the US-Mexican border and hundreds of Jewish families live nearby. Area Jews are diverse, hailing from both American and Latin-American backgrounds. Although the Torah background among area Jews is mostly minimal, clear progress is being made. There is at least a minyan of Jews who wear tefillin every day, and some 100 locals come to shul on the Yomim Nora’im. Unfortunately, progress in the area of taharah is lacking as a result of the long, difficult drive to the nearest mikvah. Once the beautiful new mikvah will, iy”H, be completed, taharah and overall kiruv efforts are expected to see a marked boost.
