===== Definition ===== 

Jewish residential segregation refers to the phenomenon of Jews living in concentrated areas or neighborhoods within a city or region. This segregation can occur for various reasons, including historical factors, cultural preferences, economic factors, and religious or safety concerns.

Historically, Jewish residential segregation can be traced back to Jewish ghettos that were established in medieval Europe, where Jews were restricted to living in specific areas. In more recent times, Jewish residential segregation can be seen in cities across the world, such as parts of Brooklyn, New York or certain neighborhoods in London, known for having large Jewish populations.

There are several factors that contribute to Jewish residential segregation. One factor is the desire to live in close proximity to synagogues, kosher food markets, and other Jewish institutions or services. Proximity to these institutions allows for easier observance of religious traditions and cultural practices.

Economic factors also play a role in Jewish residential segregation. Jewish communities often develop their own economy, with businesses catering to the specific needs of the community. This can create a self-sustaining cycle where Jews choose to live in areas with established Jewish businesses and services, further reinforcing segregation.

In some cases, safety concerns have also contributed to Jewish residential segregation. Throughout history, Jews have faced discrimination, persecution, and violence. Concentrating in specific areas can provide a sense of safety and security, as well as a support network within the community.

It is important to note that while Jewish residential segregation exists, it is not a universal phenomenon. Many Jews live in diverse neighborhoods and communities, integrating with the general population. Additionally, residential segregation is not unique to the Jewish community and can be observed in various religious, ethnic, and cultural groups.
