Counting Chickens...Er, Jews: The Challenges
There's a reason we haven't gotten an exact headcount. Unlike a good brisket, Jewish identity isn't a one-size-fits-all recipe. Some folks strictly follow religious traditions, while others have a more cultural connection. Plus, the US Census doesn't ask about religion, so we have to rely on estimates.
Here's the nosh:
- The Big Numbers Game: Some sources claim Atlanta has over 119,800 Jews, making it a full-fledged Jewish Jawn (Philly slang for "town").
- The Suburban Sprawl: The Jewish community seems to be following the path of a good bagel – spreading outward! Many Jews now live in the suburbs, making an accurate count tricky.
So, How Many Jews Are There Really?
The truth is, it's a mystery wrapped in a matzah ball. But here's what we do know:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Atlanta has a thriving Jewish community with synagogues, schools, and delis galore (because what's life without lox?).
- It's a welcoming place with a mix of traditions and backgrounds.
Basically, there's enough challah for everyone!
