Abstract:

The task of the paper is to examine the shape of Jewish distribution in cities. We ask if Jews differ in their residential distribution pattern from other ethnic groups and to what extent do they differ? How and why do they differ, and what are the consequences of specific patterns of residential distribution? The essay is largely based on a round of deliberations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
