That's surprising, Toronto has the third largest Israeli population I believe in NA and it has a very large observant Jewish community. Canada has the third largest Jewish population outside of Israel, just behind France.

It is surprising, but you still have Air Canada. It's disappointing that not one of Delta, American, or United offers direct flights between LAX and Tel Aviv, despite LAX being a focus city or all three airlines and LA having a vibrant Israeli (and Jewish) community. Hell, even Boston has a second airline option, as will Chicago and SF once El Al resumes service.

Flight time from Tel Aviv to LA is only an extra 3 hours than to NYC; 1 hour, 40 minutes to Miami.

ohio info:


Ohio’s census data from the early 21st century showed nearly 150,000 Jews living in the state, with the Cleveland area being home to more than 50% of them. According to the United States Census Bureau, Greater Cleveland is the 23rd largest Jewish community in the country. According to the 2012 Jewish Census, Greater Cleveland had 80,800 Jews; 27,000 for Cincinnati (as of 2008); and 25,500 for Columbus (as of 2013).

Interesting read, and I agree with the sentiments expressed. LA being situated at the opposite side and corner of the country means that its Jewry enjoys a certain degree of autonomy that South Florida doesn't.

From New York to LA: has the epicentre of Jewish America shifted?

By Kelly Hartog
March 18, 2021


KELLY HARTOG: As Manhattan’s financial hub hollows out and the creative industries keep drifting west, the trend is being driven by spiritual as well as lifestyle factors.

Fleeing pogroms and war, Jews embodied those words, flocking to New York’s shores in search of a better life. To this day, if you throw out a request on social media asking New York Jews what makes their city quintessentially Jewish, you’ll get 168 clearly distilled responses.

...

And you can’t forget the cultural touchstones: Woody Allen, Crossing Delancey, The Yiddish Folksbiene Theatre, Seinfeld, The Jewish History Museum and the 92nd Street Y. There’s the shuls: Central Synagogue, B’nai Jeshurun, Chabad on Eastern Parkway.

But is New York still the centre of gravity of Jewish life in America or has that balance shifted to Los Angeles, which has the second largest Jewish population after New York? LA is also home to many Jews who work in Hollywood, where there are experimental synagogues of all denominations, and large cultural institutions including the renowned Skirball Cultural Centre.

The answer is: It depends. Not just on the scientifically proven method of “ask two Jews get three opinions,” but on how you define “Jewish life”.

Writer, consultant and speaker Esther Kustanowitz lived on New York’s Upper West Side for 14 years before moving to Los Angeles 12 years ago. She, too, noted a shift from a more closed tradition in New York.

“New York Jewish life is dense, compressed and provincial because its geography is,” she said. “In Los Angeles, Jewish life may have mini-centres but it is also spread out because there’s more geographical space.
I'm not sure what she means about Jewish life being more "spread out" in LA than in NY. You can find Jewish concentrations all over the metro.

As for South Florida, it's more a cluster of Jewish communities, while L.A. is more of a coherent whole.

She's just relating ethnography with the cities' respective cultural dynamics writ large...

"Jewish innovation and creativity in New York springs from restriction — having minimal space, being in a loud and crowded marketplace and under NYC’s legendary pressured pace, but Los Angeles provides literal open space to create, to stretch out, explore and dream."

For what it's worth, NYC is still the top choice for Israelis looking to move abroad:

Sharp rise in Israelis looking to relocate abroad for work

Compared to 46% in 2021, 69% of Israeli workers are interested in a relocation abroad, according to a new survey by Israeli recruitment website AllJobs.

By Hili Yacobi-Handelsma
July 26, 2022

With the end of the COVID pandemic and the world's return to normalcy, together with Israel's political instability in recent years and the current economic situation, 69% of Israeli workers are considering relocating to other countries. Last year, that number stood at 46%.

...

The sense of disappointment is glaring and on the rise: 31% of those questioned in the survey said they were disappointed with the situation in Israel and therefore want to move to another country, compared to 24% last year. An additional option in this year's survey was the country's political climate, with 20% of those questioned noting this as a significant factor in their desire to relocate.

...

Divided by city, New York and Los Angeles are the most desired cities, with 17% and 10% respectively, followed by Sydney (9%), London (8%), Miami (6.5%), Barcelona (6.5%), and Amsterdam (6%).

Didn't realize the Brandeis 2020 American Jewish Population Project comes with an awesome interactive map that breaks down estimate down to counties. And with that...

38,600 / 827,007 (4.7%)

Total: 99,000 / 1,753,669 (5.6%)

Total: 2,102,600 / 22,096,525 (9.5%)

Share of Jews:

NYC — 44.9%
LI — 12.9%
NJ — 24.1%
Upstate — 13.4%
CT — 4.7%


* Not part of the NYC CSA
** Left out Litchfield, CT and Monroe, PA — figured that sort of evens out the addition of the extraneous counties


Very impressive numbers; every county is above the national average. Still though, about 35% of the region's Jews live in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

These figures seem a lot more reliable than some of these community surveys. The recent Philadelphia study for example said that the City of Philadelphia is around 10% Jewish, which would be about a quarter or so of all NHWs in Philadelphia.

Thoughts:

1) The Inland Empire really waters down (just like everything else) Greater LA's numbers. Even WASPy OC (population 3.2 million) is a pretty decent 2.7% — about as Jewish as the entire Bay Area once you factor in Stanislaus and Merced Counties.

2) Palm Beach... holy cow. More Jewish than Nassau County and rivals Manhattan.

3) I thought NYC was home to 1.1 million Jews? If so, the estimate of 943,800 is off by 17%.

4) Queens, Staten Island, and especially Suffolk are underperformers. Although Jews still make up more than 1 out of every 4 NHWs in Queens.

5) Very solid showing for NJ (and CT) across the board, but there's no doubt that Jewry is more of a New York thing.

6) I'd still say NYC is #1, LA #2A, and South Florida #2B. South Florida has twice the Jewry per capita, but LA County by itself is the second largest metropolitan area and is 5.3% Jewish (1 out of every 5 whites). The more recent local community study (co-conducted by Brandeis) found 565,000 Jews amongst a population of 7,062,500 (8% of the population). That's about the size of South Florida and North/Central Jersey, and LA's percentage is slightly higher than both. And 7,062,500 is 38% of the Greater LA population... not an insignificant share at all.

I don't understand the Brandeis study numbers for Rockland County. Most observers believe Rockland will be a majority Jewish county within a generation, or earlier. The county has become so Orthodox that there are far more children enrolled in yeshivas than public schools.

I don't know if there are counting problems for the Orthodox, but it sounds plausible? The Lakewood and Brooklyn numbers seem a bit low too. Then some of the secular numbers, like Manhattan and Palm Beach, seem a bit high.
