We have been looking at a few beautiful communities in Wilmington and Leland and wanted to know if there were Jewish People and or Families that live in these areas

Thanks
The main C-D profile on Wilmington gives a 1.6% Jewish population from the last census. Leland's Jewish population must be among the 1.8% Other. There are several synagogues or temples in Wilmington, but none in Leland.

Thank you Golden I did google the Synagogues and found 2 in Wilmington We have been starting research on Compass Pointe, and Brunswick Forest I must say we really like Compass Pointe from what we have been reading and seeing..
I appreciate your response
I know its a small population..Maybe I will give them a Call as well....
Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky but why is it whenever Jewish people look to move to a area they always inquire about whether or not there are other "Jewish People" living in the town or area? I'm not trying to be mean but i have never heard Catholics, Protestants, Episcapalens, etc ask this question.
Its the same if a Irish couple or Italian couple asked I only want to move in a town with Irish, or Italians.
I'm never too old to learn something but why do people of the Jewish faith always do this??

One reason is there there needs to be a certain number of men (a Minyan) to constitute a valid worship service. Another reason is the availability of synagogues, kosher food, social clubs, potential partners for one's children, etc. It is difficult to conduct a true Jewish life without an appropriate number of people of the same faith around one.
HTH.

Hey Golden,
Thx for responding, as i look at the reasons I guess the only one that holds any water would be "The Minyan". All the other reasons would be the same for any religion or nationality, wouldn't it. I guess what I'm trying to say is i socialize-befriend people no matter what color, religion, nationality, etc they are. I've moved 7 times to 7 differnet states and we never were concerned on these topics.

Oh well, back to NC Coast!!!
Can't wait to get down there full time......
Bis let me try and say this without putting my foot in my mouth..when your a Minority like us jewish people in some southern states, its nice to know there are people of our faith its no different than someone being Catholic or methodist if they were surrounded by Jewish people and all they saw were our Temples etc, they too would want to know that there were people with the same religion as them...My brother in law is irish catholic, my best friend is not jewish and then there are my jewish friends back home...for our family we have no problem with mixed religions however I would like to be somewhere we felt comfortable..My son was bullied in school back in 7th and 8th grade about being Jewish and we lived in Charlotte..and in the whole school the percentage was quite small and still is...I too have lived in 6 other states and I have encountered my share of Anti-Semits against Jews and since we grew up in Brooklyn NY our friends were Non Jewish, Jewish, Hispanic etc and no one cared what you were

All cool. Funny you say you live in Charlotte because before i moved back to NYC we lived in Charlotte as well for 20 years. Us Irish Catholics, with a NJ Accent, struggled a bit as well because Charlotte was predominantly Baptist back in mid 80's. They only had 2 Catholic grammer school back than St Gabriels and St Patricks.
I hear ya and all cool with me. I'll have a beer with ya once i move back South!!!!
