What Americans really think of the Jewish Population

As the security situation of the Jews inside the Russian Empire worsened, they began to emigrate to other countries in record numbers.
With an estimated 5.6 million Jews living in Israel, nearly half of the world’s Jewish population resides in the United States with approximately 5.2 million Jews scattered across the fifty states. The Jewish community within America has many traditions and religious belief systems that most Americans are becoming accustomed too. Their culture is adapting to incorporate kosher restaurants and Jewish holidays into American calendars.
Most of the Jewish population in America resides within New York City, with approximately 2 million Jews living and working within the area. Miami and Los Angeles are also popular cities for Jewish families to reside. So what are Americans saying about their Jewish neighbors? Despite a long history of animosity between different races and religion in the United States, there has been a great deal of tolerance and acceptance among Americans in regards to their Jewish neighbors. Judaism is seen as a loving religion most people think the growing Jewish population is a positive thing for America. In fact, many American families are taking interest in the Jewish heritage by celebrating traditionally Jewish holidays such as Hanukkah and Passover. They are researching the old stories behind these practices and sharing them with their children.
This minority is still complete and together and as far as i can see the minority will continue to grow as it seems to be very acceptable in the community.
