Since the U.S. Census Bureau does not identify Jews as an ethnic group and therefore does not collect data on Jewish populations, the report points out that its figures are provided primarily through an an- nual survey of Jewish fed- erations. Formal population studies are conducted in some communities, while others estimate roughly on the basis of lists of known Jewish households. Among the Jewish popu- lation figures for U.S. met- ropolitan areas listed in the Year Book's tables are: New 1,998,000; Los York, Angeles, 503,000; Philadel- phia, 295,000; Chicago, 253,000; Miami, 225,000; Boston, 170,000; Washing- ton, D.C., 160,000; Bergen County (N.J.), 100,000) Essex County (N.J.), 95,000; Baltimore, 92,000; Fort Lauderdale, 75,000; Cleveland, 75,000; Detroit, 75,000; San Francisco, 75,000; Montgomery County (Md.), 70,000; St. Louis," 60,000; Hollywood (Fla.), 55,000; Pittsburgh, 50,000. Turning to the world scene, a Year Book report by Professors U.O. Schmelz and Sergio Della JERUSALEM (JTA) — Mahmoud Jaabari, the 19- yera-old grandson of the late mayor of Hebron, Mohammad Ali Al-Jaabari, will be converted to Judaism next week and has adopted a Hebrew name, Yaacov Ben Avraham. According to a report in Yediot Ahronot, the Arab youth has been studying secretly at the yeshiva in Kiryat Arba, the religious township adjacent to Heb- ron, for the past three • We Remove & install • DRAPERY CLEANERS •• • • • • • • 8 9 8 di 8 !f- master charge • Suburban Call Collect _4 .1 VISA & MASTERCHARGE BEST RENT IN TOWN • • • • • • • • • • • ATLANTIC CITY FORT APACHE, THE BRONX ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST HESTER STREET THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER CONTINENTAL DIVIDE • • TARZAN, THE APE MAN • • • • VISA' • • • • • •• • • •• ■ • • • • ■ • • • To ■ • •• ■ ■ • o.* ■_ ■ •, ■ • ■ • •• • ■ • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 'All- that the. name implies."

The American Jewish Year Book is published by Terrorists Hit Rome Synagogue ROME (JTA) — A hand grenade was hurled at the central entrance of the main synagogue here last week. There was little damage. The terrorists were not identified. The synagogue has been the target of anti-Semitic acts during the past months. Several times, small groups of neo-Nazis - passed by the synagogue during services shouting out Nazi slogans. Security guards have been posted on occasion out- side the synagogue to deter neo-Nazis from disturbing services. The Jewish community feels that Jewish organiza- tions and institutions in Rome do not receive suffi- cient protection from the Italian police-. the American Jewish Committee in association with the Jewish Publication Society of America. The editors are Milton Himmel- farb and David Singer. A 100-page article in the Year Book is entitled "A Century of Jewish History — 1881-1981: The view from America." It was writ- ten by historian and Holocaust authority Lucy Dawidowicz. She writes that the his- tory of Jews in the U.S. la' been basically of good time of expectations realized. "The U.S. was the first country in the world to give the Jews political equality and religious liberty," she wrote, "enabling them, as no other nation-state had, fully to exercise their rights as citizens and, at the same time, freely to observe their religion, sustain their tradi- tions and perpetuate their culture."
