GUATEMALA-RELIGION

A child from an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group reads the Torah at the building where their community will remain in Guatemala City on August 31, 2014. Fearful of losing their culture and land, ethnic Maya people in Guatemala -- who have faced centuries of discrimination themselves -- drove out a group of 230 ultra-Orthodox Jews, experts say. The Jewish group's departure from San Juan La Laguna, on the banks of Lake Atitlan, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) from the capital Guatemala City, followed failed efforts to reach a deal Wednesday. Most members of the small Jewish community are from the United States, Israel, Britain and Russia, and around 40 are Guatemalan. Approximately half are children.
