The children of Israel


A group of Ashkenazi Jews  gets to the colony in the thirties out of downtown. They come mainly massively in 1921, from Poland, Russia, Lithuania, the Balkans and the Near East due to the policy of opening up streets toward Jews and to the post First World War.

Some of them fled their countries as well about the impact of the Russian Revolution and the growing nationalism in Hungary and Poland. Your stay would be temporary because they aspire to reach the U.S. but it would be increasingly more difficult due to lack of entry visas.
Had to work and did so united as a community. The Jews made their own businesses and improve their economic situation or that allowed them to seek a better life in the colonies Roma, Condesa and Hippodrome. With his arrival the colony was transformed: it opened synagogues, schools, bakeries, kosher butcher shops and grocery stores. Bet Midrash was created Racetrack in Mexico Avenue as a house of prayer and study. Etz Chaim Synagogue Orthodox education provides.
Hebrew College was founded in Amsterdam and Tarbuti Youth Club Kadima., On the premises were bought Rody Colegio Israelita uniforms. By the forties, most of these families had already been installed in the colony Hippodrome and had a meeting and recreation center: Parque Mexico. Here mothers gathered to knit and chat. Hippodrome bakery owned by Mr. Burakov in Ozuluama Street and Amsterdam. In the late forties came looking for new residential areas as Polanco.
