Long Island synagogue marks High Holidays with thanks to Israeli soldiers in Gaza war

“Are you telling me that 82% of American Jews never set foot inside a synogogue? Got a link for M J’s source for these startling numbers?”

No, I don’t have a source, as I say, I was quoting MJ Rosenberg from the Nation Sept. 2015 Here’s the full quote:

“In fact, whenever it testifies on Capitol Hill, (AIPAC) it says it is speaking for the entire organized community. The truth, however, is that 82 percent of American Jews belong to no Jewish organizations at all, meaning not only that there is no organization that speaks for them, but that no organization even knows exactly who they are.”

It feels right to me, but I would think that MJ Rosenberg keeps up on these things through surveys and stuff, since it is his area of interest. Why would he not give the best estimate he has on the subject?
Or is there some affiliation which is going unnoticed?

“source for these startling numbers?”

Startling? What numbers are you comparing them to from which they are a “startling” difference? And uh, what did you think the numbers are?
