The Blau Weiss (Blue and White) youth movement was established in Germany in 1912 with the aim of providing Jewish children from assimilated families who were turned away by German youth movements with their own youth movement. In Czechoslovakia the movement was called "Tchelet-Lavan" (light blue-white). As a result of the increasing antisemitism in Germany, the movement adopted the Zionist idea and encouraged its members to participate in agricultural and vocational training in preparation for immigration to Palestine.
The "Bar-Kochba" student organization and sports association was established in Berlin in 1898. Following a speech delivered by Max Nordau in 1900 about "Muscular Judaism", the organization started publishing a sports magazine, which soon represented all Jewish sports associations worldwide.
