Its pretty irrelevant how many Jews live there. My point is ONLY that people should not look out their front window and tell people what “Jews” do. It worries me to think that someone less affiliated will read these statements written by NYers about Yeshivas and shuls and have false negative impressions that it is inherently a Jewish issue. When I have a problem in my shul I cannot call it a community problem. When I have a complaint against the community, it would be presumptous for me to consider it a “midwestern” problem, let alone a global one. I would need to state it as a local issue, or a local issue that I have heard from others etc. Just to be on the safe side with motze shem rah issues, especially since we are speaking negatively, we should consider who we are including in our broad strokes.
