I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, which has one of the largest Jewish populations in a single district in the state of Ohio and almost anyplace else in the United States.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm part Jewish and part Christian, but I'm mostly Jewish.
I'm Jewish. Went to a Jewish school.
I grew up in the classic American-Jewish suburbia, which has a whole different sense of what it means to be Jewish than anywhere else in the world.
I was born in New York City, but I was raised in New Jersey, part of the great Jewish emigration of 1963.
I am Jewish, Italian, American, Catholic.
I'm the New York Jew who actually grew up in Minnesota.
I have very distinct memories about growing up as part of what was then a very small Jewish community in Buffalo Grove, IL.
My family were Conservative Jews. My parents were both born in this country, but my father grew up on the Lower East Side, and my mother was born and raised in Harlem when there was a large Jewish 'colony' there. Eventually, they moved to Jersey City to get away from New York.
I really don't even think of myself as being Jewish except when I'm in Germany.
In the New York metropolitan area, you can find Jews from just about every Jewish cultural community in the world.
