Those young Florida Jews http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/those-young-florida-jews/ Stop the presses—Florida Jews are not all old! New Voices magazine has the story on the Jewish student boom in the Sunshine State (hat tip to Reform Judaism magazine): en-us uheilman@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-01T;19:57:02-05:00 Comment by Joshua Pines joshpines@aol.com “In 2008, the Census Bureau recorded that Florida’s Members of the Tribe make up 3.6% of the US Jewish population.” 3.6% of the US Jewish population, not the US population. That means that Florida has about 3.6% of 6.5M, which is about 235,000. However, that’s much lower than most estimates that put the Jewish population in Florida at over 600,000, which would be almost 10% of the US Jewish population. Either way, more evidence that this article was poorly written and researched. “In 2008, the Census Bureau recorded that Florida’s Members of the Tribe make up 3.6% of the US Jewish population.”
