In Mexico, the Sephardic community originates mainly from Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria. In 1942 the "Colegio Hebreo Tarbut" was founded in collaboration with the Ashkenazi family and instruction was in Yiddish. In 1944 the Sephardim community established a separate "Colegio Hebreo Sefaradí" with 90 students where instruction was in Hebrew and complemented with classes on Jewish customs. By 1950 there were 500 students. In 1968 a group of young Sephardim created the group "Tnuat Noar Jinujit Dor Jadash" in support of the creation of the state of Israel. In 1972 the "Majazike Tora" institute is created aiming to prepare young male Jews for their Bar Mitzvah.
