Warning! This article is about statistics. As a grants and systems specialist, I work with numbers and statistics all day long, but I have noticed that statistics causes many people’s eyes to glaze over. (Some of them even fall asleep.) Yet statistics are important to the understanding of complex social realities. It is only when we know the facts and the numbers that we can plan for the future and decide on policies that will be beneficial to the community. I hope in this article to present a fascinating glimpse into the Baltimore Jewish community by way of the numbers.
