With the US presidential election just days away, incumbent President Donald Trump has many ardent, fervent and zealous supporters, most prominent among them Christian Evangelicals and working-class whites, who he is hoping will sweep him to victory.
But another group which, although a good deal smaller, is also passionate and outspoken in its support for Trump is Orthodox Jews, both ultra-Orthodox (haredi) as well as substantial segments of the modern-Orthodox community.

They've figured out it's Trump or the Fascist.
Donalds father Fred donated land and helped build a synagogue in Queens.
Donald himself donated large amounts of money to the mostly religious Jews of Israel expelled by their government from the Sinai in the 1980s and again when they were expelled in 2005.
None of those things were done to gain favor with evangelical voters.
Being grateful is a traditional Jewish religious value.
Orthodox Jews supported Republican for ever.
They really believe in God and the commandments. They are so dedicated, they dress funny, walk miles to synagogues on Sabbath, and work hard on keeping the law.
“It is not easy to be a Jew”, I hear from my friend. They are big fans of Rush, conservative web sites etc. I got several friends with them, they are amazing!
Super helpful, nicest people you could ever imagine. In order to follow the law, they kind of separate themselves. E.G. they do not participate in office parties because they are worried about the dishes, maybe being impure!
It takes an effort to make friends with them, but try, you will be awarded with the best friend you ever had!
They are quite sorry about the liberal Jews. “Some of them do not even believe in God!”
Unfortunately, the Orthodox Jews are minority in the USA.
In the bottom line, Orthodox Jews are like conservative Christians, the same divide and the same problems.
But, please, do not let the appearance scare you! They are our soul mates in most ways!
Because he’s not in favor of burning their houses down?
Because they’re NOT STUPID.

He recently endorsed Trump.
I find it funny that demacrats think that they would get the orthadox Jewish vote. he moved are embassy to Jerusalem. his daughter converted to Judaism when she married her husband...and then you have the demacrat embracing the worst aspects of Muslim support. then you have the fact that anti Semitism has been embraced by the parties political class. who are all right with Jews who are only culturally Jewish but if they have any real spiritualism they are in the same category devout Christians.
That is a better question.
Because leftard loons are idol worshipers. Big government is God.Orthodox Jews don’t like worshiping of idols.
Reform Jews are not having many kids, while ultra orthodox are having 6 per couple. This will produce a profound shift in a generation.

Personal opinion ONLY here -- but I think that those particular American Jews who consistently vote for the Left believe that doing so will cause them to be counted among the "elites". Sort of like doing some harmful thing in order to be invited to hang out with the "cool kids" at school.
Orthodox’ news? The rest must be unorthodox.
All these things are very true.
Getting Jewish support is more than being pro-Israel.
For one thing, the Jewish community doesn’t really trust the Christian community.
Another is there is a fundamental belief in the Jewish community to support those in need.
That points to “minorities” which then points to “liberals”.
Reagan made great leaps with the Jewish community but the Bush family set us back probably 40 years.
The Obama Presidency made Israel fear that all of the USA was going to abandon them.
Hillary was their plan to continue the path to a liberal thinking “Middle East Peace” thinking.
When Trump won, it shook Israel up as they didn’t know what to expect and since they get much of their news from NYT-WP, they really thought the USA was gone as a supporter.
Slowly they began to suspect that maybe they were wrong and were being lied to by the Democrat Party.
It will take probably another 50 years for the Jewish community to reliably support Republicans but it will take strong leadership in addition to Trump.
First line funny.
Because their true religion, liberalism, demands obediance to leftist doctrine.
...there is a fundamental belief in the Jewish community to support those in need. That points to minorities which then points to liberals.
But that is only true if they believe that the Democrats brand of liberalism, which is really Marxism in disguise, is the best solution for helping the needy and underserved minorities - when it is NOT!!
Why cant Jews, possessing above-average intelligence, see through the Democrats thin disguise?
Because they are smarter than their idiot secular Jewish brethren. The jewish seculars have a death wish, I think. As smart as they think they are they are really morons.
I think that this is an excellent piece on that subject:

Also watch Ben Shapiro's short video which is on that page.
All of which goes a long way to answering your question.
