im sephardic. and i belive the pace we are going at now in a couple generations we will be very big. next generation is already getting better and bigger.we have many talmidey chachamim many bnei torah as well.sadly we leave our mesorah to a certain degree because ashkenazim have alot more build and sephardim go to there yeshivot and they become like asheknazim.its a sad thing because sephardim have a beautifal rich mesorah full of the greatest gedolim in history but bh they r growing slowly alot of there parents came from countrys where it wasent easy to be religious.
