Comments on: The Irish Jewish Community–A Closer Look http://www.irishgenealogical.com/the-irish-jewish-community-a-closer-look.html Tips and Advice for Tracing Your Irish Ancestor History Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:38:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David Peter Fine http://www.irishgenealogical.com/the-irish-jewish-community-a-closer-look.html/comment-page-1#comment-869 David Peter Fine Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:56:34 +0000 http://www.irishgenealogical.com/?p=172#comment-869 I would be happy to help you in any way I can. I am one of the handful of Irish Jews that returned to Dublin after living in the UK for any years. Despite all the pessimism, the last two census recorded successive increases in the Jewish population, but the 'old core' community is shrinking. Still, I'm optimistic. My own theory is that the community will shrink to a core and then will start growing again. It could be a case of quality over quantity. Despite the recent financial crisis, Ireland is a warm and welcoming place and our international footprint is greater than our size. It's the same for Irish Jewry. Please feel free to contact me any time. Kol tov, David. I would be happy to help you in any way I can.
