I noticed at least one error on this map: Pinellas county Florida is blank, indicating now Jewish population recorded. I know this is false as I grew up there. There are probably half a dozen synnagogues and a Jewish Community Center there. I would be very suprised if the Jewish population there didn't register on your map.

Similarly, Green Bay Wisconsin has a Jewish community with one synagogue, with more than 100 members, probably more than .1% of the population of Green Bay.
 * As does Appleton. There are also synagogues in Fond du Lac and Manitowoc, and small communities in several other counties.  From what I understand, there are also quite a number of Reform Jews in St. Croix Co.  I'm not looking for a  on my remarks, I'm just wondering how accurately the map reflects its source, and thinking that if it matches its source well, perhaps we should find a better source...

 * Pinellas County, Florida was "not reported", yet the local Jewish community is renowned for its' sheer size per county population. I doubt the map makers wanted to avoid an ethnic controversy on the portrayal of Pinellas County as "too Jewish". I'm not surprised about the bold blues over Las Vegas/Clark County, Nev. and Los Angeles County, Cal., though I read a few years ago (1997?), the Jewish population of California was declining or shifting north or east into nearby states. Then again, recent Jewish immigration from the Middle East and former USSR poured into L.A. and San Francisco, and a movement for secular Jews to convert in a more "revivalist" Jewish movement began to be more observant in their Jewish religion. The state of Florida may surpassed New York state with the most American Jews per state, but I must look over any available information to suggest changing the statement on which state has the most Jews or members in Judaism. + 71.102.2.206 (talk) 23:07, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Scale is completely wrong
I don't know whether this is actually in kilometers and labeled "miles", or if the wrong formula was used, but the US is approximately 1,000 miles from north to south, and approx. 3,000 from east coast to west coast. The scale provided with this map says it is twice that size. I am duplicating this comment on the American Jews page where this map is being used. Ilyse Kazar (talk) 15:25, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
