Major Jewish Cities in the United States

New York holds the country's largest Jewish community, spanning neighborhoods as different as Crown Heights, the Upper West Side, and Riverdale; Los Angeles brings together a very diverse population, from Persian families in Beverly Hills to the Sephardic community of Pico-Robertson and entertainment-industry professionals; Miami draws many young professionals from the Northeast as well as a large Latin American community; Boston and Chicago have smaller but well-structured communities built around their universities and institutions. This spread-out geography makes a city-by-city search especially useful in the US.

Holidays and Community Life in the United States

In the US, Jewish life is organized above all around the synagogue and its stream (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform): the major holidays bring entire neighborhoods to a standstill, notably in Brooklyn, where Crown Heights and Boro Park slow to a crawl for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, while Hanukkah brings enormous public menorah lightings, such as the one on New York's Fifth Avenue. Local associational networks and Jewish federations also run many young-professional events, usefully complementing an online search like ShidduchMatch.
