It was supposed to be a dream job. When Anna Rajagopal spoke to me about Avodah, they understood it to be a non-profit social justice group that works specifically with recent college graduates and young Jews from the ages of 21 to 26, placing them in a target city with the National Jewish Service Corps to do Tikkun Olam work, or world-healing work, specifically around social justice. For Rajagopal, who is a young, anti-Zionist activist and Jew of color, Avodahs mission statement resonated because of its emphasis on anti-racism and inciting social change.

But the rise and fall of Jewish influence is a clear, familiar arc in a city that has absorbed waves of immigrants, who grew in numbers, economic power and, eventually, political stature only to be supplanted by those who followed. It happened to the Dutch, English, Germans, Irish and Italians, and now to New Yorks Jews, who at their peak in the 1950s accounted for a quarter or more of the citys total population and gained footholds at all levels of government

It is a truism among many observers of the current socio-political scene that politics has become a substitute religion for large numbers of Americans. Writing about the sacralization of politics, Shadi Hamid, for example, stated that on the left, the woke take religious notions such as original sin, atonement, ritual, and excommunication and repurpose them for secular ends; [while] on the right, adherents of a Trump-centric ethno-nationalism still drape themselves in some of the trappings of organized religion, but the result is a movement that often looks like a tent revival stripped of Christian witness.
