Ty for sharing this story. I was born in City Terrace in 1964 to Hispanic parents from El Paso. I grew up with Jewish owned stores. There was a 5 and dime I think my generation was the last of the children that grew up with the last of the Jewish stores. My mom bought a house on Malabar St. in Boyle heights in 1979 it was like moving to another world. Everyone in the neighborhood spoke Spanish. It's nice to hear about your lives I always wondered what ELA was like right before I was born.
THANK YOU FOR THESE STORIES. MY FAMILY OWNED "EL CENTAVITO" ON 1ST STREET, ON THE BOYLE HEIGHTS/EAST L.A BORDER. MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER LEARNED SOME YIDDISH TO SPEAK TO HIS JEWISH CUSTOMERS AT THE CENTAVITO, IT WAS A GROCERY/GENERAL STORE AT THE TIME. MY FAMILY STILL LIVES IN EAST L.A.
This was so nice to watch and learn of my childhood neighborhood. I was born in Chicago my parents moved to LA in 1970 and decided to stay we first lived on Chicago st near Sheridan elementary where I attended til we moved to Fairmont st and attended Evergreen elementary. We then moved to Pomeroy st til my parents bought their first home on Inez st in the Lorena and Whittier area. I attended Hollenbeck Jr high and Roosevelt High. I now live in Utah which I love but I don't forget where I came from.
Thank you six girls from Boyle Heights May the Lord continue to bless you and keep you. This was the Los Angeles of my father and his family, of which, in spite of being Angeleno born myself, I know very, very little about. It was a fascinating hour.
I was born and grew up in Boyle Heights. I remember my parents telling us stories of Boyle Heights when they grew up in the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s and that everyone mostly got along fairly well. My grandfather worked at the Dakota Bakery on Brooklyn catering to the Jewish families.
I saw one called "Meet Me at Brooklyn & Soto" It was about how multi ethnic Boyle Heights was in the 1920s - 1950s I saw it on Jewish Life TV many years ago. I think that there was an advertisement for the DVD following the feature. [Self Edit] The documentary is on YT! So, enjoy.

Yiddish is middle high German with loan words from Hebrew Aramaic and Slavic and is a Diaspora language just like Ladino for Sephardic Jews. All my Grandparents spoke Yiddish.

Is there any films of old Boyle Heights?
I saw one called "Meet Me at Brooklyn & Soto"
It was about how multi ethnic Boyle Heights was in the 1920s - 1950s
I saw it on Jewish Life TV many years ago.
I think that there was an advertisement for the DVD following the feature.

Very few of the Jews in Boyle Heights were born in LA...so many came from NY and Chicago.
I love this!

Yiddish isn't a Hebrew language
It's a Jewish language. Jews are also called Hebrews. Maybe that's where confusion arises from
@@subs4794 no, Jews are followers of Judaism. Converting from to a religion does not make you a member of an ethnic group with the same ancestors
@@subs4794 Yiddish is European. Hebrew is an Afro-asiatic or Semitic language. Hebrew is a family or tribe. Jew and Judaism is a religion.
@@subs4794 just because people in South America are Roman Catholic doesn't mean they are of Roman or Italian heritage
Yiddish is middle high German with loan words from Hebrew Aramaic and Slavic and is a Diaspora language just like Ladino for Sephardic Jews. All my Grandparents spoke Yiddish.
