Yucca and sweet potato latkes? That’s tradition for Jewtina y Co.

Jewtina y Co. is a nonprofit founded for people who are the children of Jewish and non-Jewish parents, Latinos who’ve converted, and Jews born and raised in Latin America.

“I'm from Peru originally,” said founder Analucia Lopezrevoredo.

She grew up Jewish in Tustin. Her mother is Jewish and her father is not. But both traditions showed up during Hanukkah when it came to making latkes.

“Are we gonna make it with camote or sweet potato? Are we gonna make it with yucca? Are we gonna make it with purple potatoes? Like, [to] give it that real Andean like, Peruvian feel,” she said.

The group has hubs in L.A., New York, Miami and other places.

“I come from a very proud Salvadorian Jewish home,” said Kimberly Ariella Dueñas, a founding member of the group and the nonprofit’s director of learning.

Her mother is Ukrainian-Polish and her father left El Salvador in the lead-up to the country’s civil war.

“My mother and father met at a Passover Seder,” she said.

She’ll be at the group’s Hanukkah gathering in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood on Thursday.

“Then the following nights I'm actually traveling down to El Salvador to celebrate Hanukkah with the Salvadoran Jewish community,” she said.

Social events are important, but the group has larger goals. Lopezrevoredo said, like addressing how many Jewish Latinos sometimes don’t feel included by Latinos. And the same dynamic, she added, exists with wider Jewish communities.

“For us it's really about solidifying over the next couple of years a stronger puente, a stronger bridge between us and our larger Latin American community,” she said.
