Arizona Edition

Arizona Edition- Ana Bella De Anda, is the owner of Mama Bella Hot Sauce in Somerton. As part of our weekly segment, we highlight the stories of women who have made an impact in their community.

Part of De Anda's motivation is a result of following in her mother's footsteps who was selling beauty and health products before she passed away.

After her mother's death, De Anda began thinking seriously about  selling her special habanero salsas her whole family and friends enjoyed.

Arizona Edition-For nearly two decades, the small Jewish community in Yuma County did not have a seasoned Rabbi to lead their services.

Rabbinical students usually start off in rural areas like Yuma to later lead in bigger congregations. 

However, for the beginning of Rosh Hashanah which is the Jewish New Year, the Jewish community in Yuma welcomed a seasoned rabbi from Southern California to lead their services.
