JTA – NEW YORK – Two-thirds of Jewish population growth in the New York area has come from two largely Orthodox neighborhoods, a study found.
Two Brooklyn neighborhoods account for a majority of the ten percent increase in overall Jewish population growth in greater New York City over the past decade, according to data released Friday from a demographic study carried out by UJ-Federation of New York. With 1.54 million Jews, the New York area is home to the largest Jewish community in North America.
