More on UJA Federation New York’s new Jewish Community Study (as reported by Globes):

127,000 people (Jews and non-Jews) live in 41,000 households with Israelis in New York City, Long Island and Westchester. This includes households with an Israeli-born respondent or spouse or a non-U.S. born respondent who had lived in Israel.
