This entire page requires citation. There's 2 citations and one of them cites proof that NYC was once known as New Amsterdam.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Asapra ( talk • contribs) 15:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Under the subsection New York City Jewish population, this passage appears:
"There are approximately 1.97 million Jews (as of 2001) in the New York City Metropolitan Area, making it the second largest Jewish community in the world, after the Gush Dan metropolitan area in Israel. However, Tel Aviv proper has a smaller population of Jews than New York City proper, making New York City the largest community of Jews in the world."
Is it or isn't it? Of course, this passage would like to say that if you define "Jewish community" one way, then Gush Dan is the largest; another way it would be the New York City Metropolitan Area. (Wait! Or, would that be just New York City, as in the second sentence? This is the second major contradiciton in this passage!)
But, it makes no effort to say what it is trying to say. As a result, it is full of contradictions (O.K., it has two contradictions.)
In any case, it needs to be fixed. By someone more familiar with world demographics than I am. Daqu ( talk) 18:41, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
From what I know, New York city proper has 1.1 million observant Jews, while the metro area (NY, NJ and CT) has a total of 1.7 million. The city's Jewish population declined in half a century, while the metro area has somewhat grown. This is about observant Jews, not Jews who don't follow Judaism nor religion nor attend synagogue, half-Jewish people or any Jewish ancestry. 67.49.89.214 ( talk) 10:18, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
I plan on adding information to the History sections of this article with information I found in The Jews of the United States: 1654 to 2000 by Hasia R. Diner.
As this Wikipedia article is a compilation of facts and events, I have a few from the source that are to be added without revising other content already on the page. Diner's work includes statistics, and he states that New York was the home to about 45% of all American Jews by the 1920s (p. 112). There was an influx of Russian, Lithuanian, Polish immigrants to New York in mid 1800s. They managed to keep a firm grasp on their Eastern European culture and brought their food, style of education, and language (p. 123).
The only existing subject matter I would like to add to is the sentence or two on day schools. Jewish institutions were become less Jewish and more American. There was a second school to follow in footsteps of B'nai Jereshun, called Polonies Talmud Torah, that did not require being enrolled in the congregation. American culture had influenced and affected the second generation and reformed Judaism took off (p. 143).
There are also many broader cultural aspects that Diner discusses, such as professions, language, and the overall immigrant experience in the United States. I could possibly create a new section on the article devoted to the Jewish experience in New York City.
Feel free to give any suggestions here or on my talk page.

@ Gilabrand: in this edit you added a photo of a "Jewish shopkeeper". Is there something that supports the claim that he's Jewish? If not, then this fails WP:V and should be removed. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:39, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
Perhaps it could be replaced with File:Jewish life - Jewish peddler, New York City LCCN2003665496.jpg, or File:Elderly Hasidic man in New York City (10685158766).jpg, or something from Category:Judaism in New York City? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:24, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Does the Jewish Community make up 9% of New York, with 1.6 million people? Or do 1.6 million religious Jews make up 8 percent, with another 10 percent (or maybe 18 percent) being ethnically Jewish? This is the first paragraph, get your numbers straight TTTime05 ( talk) 13:22, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
