“why are practicing Jews in the United States Democrats”
you have it 100% backwards.
The Jews you are referring to are NOT practicing Jews in any way. They are lefty-liberals first, and then Jew by identification.
practicing Jews are like me — ORTHODOX. Yes, those orthodox Jews in Brooklyn and Lakewood, NJ that wear the funny hats and walk around pushing strollers on Saturday are the fiercest and staunchest conservatives you will meet.
the demographics are rapidly changing — Anyone who’s lived there life in Rockland County New York or the Catskills can attest to the literal explosion of the orthodox Jewish population.
The secular WW2 generation REFORM jews and their children that all intermarried are the ones you are referring to. Like most of my non-orthodox family, they are quickly disappearing from this earth.
in 25 years (assuming the USA is still standing), a majority of the US Jewish population will be orthodox and conservative by simple mathematics alone:
Orthodox Jews all marry in their teens-twenties and usually have a solid 4-8 kids (and often more then 8)
non-orthodox Jews barely have any children. rarely ever more then 2.
Thanks.
But that is why I used the qualifier “practicing.” :)
Furry hats. Yup. :) Great! Good for them being conservative. Kind of tough living in New York City, though, isn’t it?
The people who have children, sometimes many, will control the future. Simple basic fact.
