Well, let's start with the Historical Roots of Judaism in America as the First Course, before we start getting too heavily into the New Deal Era, the Politics of the Post WW II era > Nixon > Reagan > Bush Jr > Obama > Trump....   Smiley

Although as an Atheist, I can't speak from personal experience to this question...

I did post a link to the history of the Jewish experience in America, that apparently is not of interest to most folks.

On an extremely personal level, my older Sister is Orthodox Jewish, her Husband converted 20+ Years back, and I have 5 Nieces and 1 Nephew, two of whom are now married and living in Pittsburgh PA.

I texted her on Shabbat, last Saturday after the mass murder scenes at the Tree of Life Temple, knowing that it was a situation, that unless there was an emergency immediately involving family, she would not be able to respond, and that in the event that any member of her immediately family was injured, she would be able to communicate, despite her Observant/Orthodox Jewish religious prohibitions.

Thankfully, none of my Family was murdered, nor the Family and Friends of my Nieces that reside in Pittsburgh in the same neighborhood.

Regardless of recent history, there are deep roots within the Jewish-American experience from the Diaspora, to the New Deal, to the Civil Rights Movement, and beyond that believe in the dream of an American that is transcendent of the Old European hatreds, and simply trying to survive within the context of the "American Dream".

Anyone that wants to look at historical Pogroms in America, must also certainly examine the Mormon Experience as well....

Let's look at it from another angle.... Jewish Immigration to the US spiked in the largest Cities of the NE with Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty being the Port of Call, at a time where the "Old Country" was becoming increasingly intolerant and the "New Country" appeared like a place where things might just be different...

The myth and reality of Jewish Immigration from the "Old Country" to the "New Country" hit a giant rock wall when it came to the reality of WASP Republican dominated Nativist populations in the NE, not to mention the fierce competition for jobs within tight-knit communities in the largest Metro Areas (Irish, Italians, etc...).

Meanwhile even way back in the early '80s many of us folks are still reading "All of a Kind Family", talking about a family experience in NYC way back in the days....

Although Jewish-Americans found a home here in the US, in so many countries where religious persecution was the the norm, it hasn't been any easy road.

I question why so many individuals create stereotypes can call out one or two individuals of Jewish-American Ancestry that have become successful in the world of Commerce, while not questioning the rule of the WASPS, let alone the Irish and Italian-American Immigrants of the same historical era, that tend to represent an extremely high % of the NYC Finance Sector. (Sigh... I suspect the White Nationalists believe that Jews took down the World Trade Center on 9/11).
