(JNS) A few weeks ago, a sermon by Reform Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, the senior rabbi at the Steven Wise Free Synagogue in New York, shocked millions from that city to Tel Aviv. Standing at his pulpit, Hirsch delivered a stern warning to the Democrats.
Noting that he is someone “who is finely attuned to American Jewish sentiment,” Hirsch told Democratic elected officials: “Do not take American Jews for granted.”
Hirsch explained, “I have spoken to many American Jews in the past few months who have surprised me with their anxiety about developments in the Democratic Party, and their perception that it is becoming increasingly hostile to Israel, and tolerant of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism in its own ranks.”
“Be careful,” Hirsch warned. “The results of the upcoming election do not only depend on Michigan.”
Many dismissed his remarks with a shrug of their shoulders. For decades, Republicans have asked conservative Jews to explain how it is that American Jews vote for Democrat Party candidates even though Republicans are so much more supportive of Israel. The question comes so frequently that most conservative Jews can give the answers in their sleep.
First, most American Jews see themselves first and foremost as Democrats or liberals, not as Jews. They love Israel, but it’s not really a voting issue for them. And second, the Jewish vote doesn’t matter because most American Jews live in deep blue states that will never tilt Republican.

Likewise non-practicing Jews. The 'death to America' faction does not recognize the difference.

Exactly!
there is no way the jewish vote will decide a presidential election.
They could decide the House elections. Probably not the Senate.
there is approx. 7.8 million jews in the usa.
All are not of voting age.
check this out, as of 2022 - how accurate ? I don’t know.

I’d rather have US census records.
They will vote communist again and then complain when the communists they voted for revert to type. Then they will look towards others to save them.
Just a mite tired is all.
Not any kind of a problem with you or anyone else in particular, CCG.
FWIW—Holy Mother Church IS Israel.

All the Jews Biden has tapped for top roles in his new administration
From secretary of state to attorney general, a diverse cross-section of American Jewry is set to fill seats at the incoming president’s Cabinet table and elsewhere in government
You can add Christians to that statement as well.
She’s wrong because they are heavily concentrated in deep blue states where their vote at the federal level is unlikely to matter.
Until someone pointed this out here recently,
I was drinking the kool aid too.
WOW it is only 71%? I would’ve guessed higher.
I read all the time here as if they vote Dem similar to the blacks
If 100% of the jews voted GOP, which states would flip?
About zero.
Biden is attempting to appease the Muslims because MI and MN would be up for grabs if they stay home.
Ding, ding, ding! Jewish campaign contributions may be more valuable than votes. And they can be reduced, unlike votes.
The GOP can be trusted?
Notice I said “at all” for the Democrats. Democrats can’t be trusted AT ALL. Some Republicans can be trusted, but many cannot. There’s a little difference. Not a lot, but some. That’s just how I look at it. YMMV.
Biden got 68%, lowest Jewish vote since Dukakis in ‘88, according to Jewish Virtual Library. Obama even managed 69% in 2012.

Romans 2:28-29
28 For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. 29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise[a] from God, not from people.
The true Jews won’t vote for Biden.
There are no indications that Jews will ever turn on the Democrat party.
Even when the Democrats confiscate their businesses and force them into "relocation centers".
This is a bad remake of a movie that we have seen before. The characters and the scenery are slightly different this time, but the plot is almost the same. We all know how it ends.
I would certainly hope for the sake of the Jewish people in America they have to have a come to the GOP moment but I fear the GOP has lost it’s spine. They’ll blow it.
Jews in America will continue to vote Democrat in the majority.
