Shalom aleichem.
I've never heard of so much anti-semitism.
Does one know why there is a brain-trust that happens to be partially Jewish in this country?
Because the last people, the generation of my ancestor line, to get out of Europe were not just peddlers and the like, they were scientists fleeing Europe and persecution.
I'm happy to have had an inventor for a Grandfather I never got to see because of heart conditions who would be proud of me.
New waves of immigration came from Russia and Iran fleeing after the Shah was overthrown.These aren't the only reasons but they are plenty of them for those who didn't make aliyah (become Jewish citizens of the state of Israel) and landed on our hopefully welcome shores. It wasn't a welcome time for some.
Anyway I digress, there is intelligence among all faiths in this country, doctors, etc, I'm just saying if one thinks there is a disproportional amount in one area, maybe there is a demographic reason.I encourage anyone to watch the Jewish Americans if they are interested in general faith and more importantly culture movies. Very well done PBS series.
Shalom.
