Don't Cry for Me, Argentina.

This article reports on the relocation of Jewish families from Buenos Aires to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg is the buzz around Jewish circles in Buenos Aires these days. The reason is GrowWinnipeg, a community project started back in 1996 that aims to renew the city's aging and shrinking Jewish population by bringing in young families from abroad. While the project and the city it serves were previously little-known in Argentina, all that changed when the economy collapsed in December 2001 and people began looking for a way out. In stark contrast to Buenos Aires, the Manitoba capital offers relative peace and quiet in a stable political and economic environment. With Winnipeg's more intimate Jewish community, many of the families have found themselves more involved in community life than they had been in Buenos Aires.
