Slàn, Irish Jewry?
The Jerusalem Post reports:
The future of the Jewish community in Ireland is bleak, as its committed members age and the young immigrate to other European countries and Israel, according to Dr. Rory Miller, senior lecturer at King’s College in London.
UPDATE: Commenter Arieh Lebowitz helpfully noted that my original headline for this item (“Slàn, Yiddish Sons of Erin”) might have been cause for confusion. He pointed out that “The Loyal League of the Yiddish Sons of Erin was founded by Michael Mann, an old time Dubliner who was a well known trade union leader in New York.”
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
