Mexico City Study Mission
G-FLI participants cruised along Xochimilco’s floating canals and gardens in a traditional trajinera canal boat.
Greensboro Federation Leadership Institute The Greensboro Federation Leadership Institute (G-FLI) centers on providing leadership opportunities to develop the next generation of the Greensboro Jewish community. Ten participants of the third G-FLI cohort spent 18 months engaging in immersive experiential education and graduated in June of this fiscal year. Prior to graduation, Cohort-3 and a few Cohort-2 alumni traveled to Mexico City for the End of Session International Trip. The city, home to 46,000 Jews, 95% residing in the capital, offered a robust immersion into Jewish-Mexican culture.
G-FLI participants explore the Jewish-Mexican culture
The trip included a tour of Colegio Olami ORT, a Jewish day school that nurtures creativity through project-based learning, and caters to students from toddlers to high school seniors.
The tour continued with stops at Mexico City’s two oldest synagogues. Mount Sinai Synagogue, built in 1918 by Middle Eastern Jewish immigrants, still stands as a remarkable place of worship and community. From the synagogue, the G-FLIers marveled at the Monument to the Revolution’s arch. It was clear to the cohorts that JewishMexican culture is alive and robust, founded on hundreds of years of impactful history.

Year after year, our annual campaign strengthens the foundation that fosters Jewish life in more than 70 countries around the world. And when an emergency arises, that preparedness allows us to mobilize and spring into action. But, with any crisis, needs grow beyond what our core foundation can support, requiring us to do more.
