The Jewish NYC'rs religiously range through secular, cultural, reform, conservative, orthodox, to ultra-orthodox.
Politically; Social Democrat, Democratic (sort of right of center, center, liberal), Progressive, Republican/?Magat, Conservatives, Independent, and ?a few anarchists.
It's quite a varied group!
There are certain zeitgeists here which include Jews supporting Israel to various degrees. Most are Zionists, but whether they support Netanyahu, or not, is a whole different story! And those opinions could go back a long way (decades) re especially since Netanyahi was anti-Itzak Rabin!
To our DU Jews of NYC; have I properly, with nuance representatived you correctly?
I did live in one neighborhood that was 2/3rds Jewish from secular to conservative from 7 grs old to late teen. Then another for a few decades that was ?about 50% maybe a bit more, or a bit less, though it had two temples about 1 block away from each other - might have been different; like conservative, and reform.
Corrections, please, if needed.
