[edit] Renaming

I am renaming this article as British Jewry. If you disagree please discuss.

My intention is to organise all article on internationally Jewish communities in such a way that they interlink categorical. Presently, someone linking from say this article to 'history of french Jewry' is hopping in between diverse articles, as apposed to understanding world Jewish demographics

[edit] Requested move

British Jews → British Jewry {this is a none demographic term Chavatshimshon 19:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)}

  • I'm inclined to oppose, though not as strongly as for France. For starters, the term "Jewry" usually refers only to the Orthodox. For another, if this is "British" rather than English: I'm honestly unsure of this, but are there formal ties of (say) the few Jews in Scotland and Northern Ireland to the Chief Rabbi in London? - Jmabel | Talk 17:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second largest in Europe

"Second largest in Europe" seems a dubious claim. What about Russia? - Jmabel | Talk 17:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anglocentrism

This article is highly anglocentric, particularly the History section. England's government may have expelled Jews, but this did not occur in Scotland. --MacRusgail 16:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current Political Issues

I'm not sure, but would this be an appropriate place to talk about the struggles (and vandalism) relating to the eruv, the legal challenges in England against Kosher meat etc?
