I was in Oaxaca for a month or so in 1970, living on short rations ,eating from the market stalls. One day I came across an indigenous-looking woman serving knishes . Exact knishes--no kasha, but unmistakably, knishes. I later read that there was a 17th (?) century Jewish community in that region. Does anyone here know about them?

Our friend Amy seems to know a lot about the Jewish community there. I'll ask her what was written.
