Claudia Sheinbaum Makes History as Mexico's First Female and Jewish President

Claudia Sheinbaum has made history as Mexico's first female and first Jewish president. Although she identifies as culturally Jewish and not religiously observant, her election is significant for the Jewish community in Latin America. Sheinbaum's background as a physicist and climate scientist, along with her secular upbringing, has shaped her political career. Her presidency is expected to bring greater awareness to the history and contributions of Jews in Mexico.
