Considering that Democrats started the KKK, as well as fiscal conservatism (at least as a stereotype), I would think that Jews might have been more Republican prior to 1932 and the New Deal. Of course, a lot of the social reforms that many Republicans advocated prior to that could have been seen as targeting Jews along with Catholics, so I could see them leaning Democrat prior to that. However, I do remember reading somewhere that a lot of the German Jewish immigrants tended to lean Republican (along with the German Protestants, while the German Catholics leaned Democrat.) Of course, that can't be used to generalize about all Jews, though.
