Iced a brief humble synopsis of former very Jewish Neighborhoods in Brooklyn: East Flatbush: lasted till late 1970’s Jewish Population completely dwindled down late 1980’s
East NY, Brownsville,were done in the 1960’s minyanim still remained 1970’s
Canarsie had full Shules till 1990 Jewish population dwindled down in 2000, but two minyanim remain and some shules are rented out to chasidic outfits who bus in from BP everyday.
While crown Heights is a Lubavitch stronghold it pales in comparison to the total number of Jews that were there till the 1970’s
Unbelievably,each of the above neighborhoods had between 25-50,000 Jews. Now what happened to all those Jews and their children? What happened to a vast amount of them? Should there not be by now due to natural population growth a few hundred thousand more Jews in the tristate area?
The answer:Sadly,many of the children who grew up in the above neighborhoods were not afforded a proper jewish education and assimilated.
