(Screenshot from YouTube via JTA) The foundation stone has been laid for a “City of Torah” in Mexico, the first village in Latin America to be composed almost exclusively of ultra-Orthodox Jews. The village, under construction near Ixtapan de la Sal, a small town about 75 miles southwest of Mexico City, will begin with 40 houses and hopes to attract 120 families by 2024, its developers said at a ceremony last week marking the project launch. It will span about a square mile at first and feature a yeshiva; synagogues and schools for both its Ashkenazi and Sephardic populations; a kosher supermarket; and a gym complex with a pool, spa, and sports venue. The funding is primarily from a businessman, Abraham Mizrahi, who is not ultra-Orthodox, also known as Haredi. Mexican Rabbi Yosef Tawil was appointed chief of the town’s rabbinical council.
