of the Bronx? One thing I found interesting was that there used to be a large concentration of jews at one point. I read that around 1930, the borough was nearly half jewish. I would guess now that that number is no more than ten percent.
Does anyone know what precipitated the exodus of jews from the bronx? I think Moses' CBE (Cross Bronx Expressway) may have been a factor as it constructed a freeway right through a lot of residential areas of the bronx and displaced thousands of residents.
