THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF MEXICO 39,400 Jews

DESCRIPTION OF MEXICO Mexico is a Spanish-speaking country about three times the size of Texas, made of 31 states and one federal district. The capital is Mexico City. Mexico's 40,000-strong Jewish community is unique and varied, and made up of several communities, each with distinct traditions. The main communities are Alianza Monte Sinai; the Ashkenazi community – the biggest community; the Maguen David Community; and the Sephardic Community, primarily made up of descendents of immigrants, and also very old generations that descend from Spain. The Mizrahi community is mainly immigrants who attend the Maguén David and Monte Sinai congregations. Mexican Jews refer to the Mizrahim as "judíos árabes" or "Arab Jews".Mizrahim DESCRIPTION OF MEXICO’S JEWISH COMMUNITY

HISTORY OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY Due to the power of the church in Mexico, few Jews migrated there during the Spanish Colonial Period. In the 1860s, a large number of German Jews settled in Mexico as a result of invitations from Mexico. Beginning in the 1880s many Jews fleeing from Russia and Romania came to Mexico. Another large wave of immigration occurred as the Empire collapsed, leading many Jews from Turkey, Morocco, and parts of France to flee. Finally, a wave of immigrants fled the increasing Nazi persecutions in Europe during World War II.hurch MexicoEmpire MoroccoNazi It's the Mexican-Jewish cultural festival! Mexican-Jewish cultural festival! Oy-le! There is kreplach on tostadas, A pupik in our piñata, We kibitz when we lambada. How are things in Ensenada? We put bottles on cabezas.
