A map of New York City created for tourists visiting for the World Cup depicts immigrant neighborhoods but leaves out Jewish neighborhoods completely.

The map details the locations of Little Palestine in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn; Little Egypt in Astoria, Queens; Little Pakistan in Newkirk Plaza, Brooklyn; and several Chinatowns.

Also left out are Greek, Irish and Italian neighborhoods.

So is this something for Jews to get uniquely mad about? As is often the case, there are more opinions than actual Jews.

Writer and journalist Avital Chizik-Goldschmidt had a bone to pick with the city over the map.

“The Mayor’s Office made a map of NYC’s immigrant enclaves: Little Africa, Little Poland, Little Palestine. But they just couldn’t figure out how to represent 11% of the city,” she wrote on X.

“Couldn’t decipher where the Jews are from. Asked everyone. Huge riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma,” she snarked.

Isaac Choua, rabbi and member of the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America, expressed dismay over the erasure of Sephardic immigrants from the map.

“The major Sepharadi corridor of South Brooklyn, Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese, and others, from the East side of Ave. J down toward Ave. V, gets left out completely. So does the Bukharian Jewish community in Queens, largely from Uzbekistan and Central Asia,” he noted in a social media post. “The Brooklyn community is not some tiny side community. Flatbush, Midwood, and Gravesend alone have roughly 54,000 people living in Jewish households, comparable in size to the Pakistani community being recognized here as number 26.”

“So no, this is not a small omission. It is one of New York’s most distinctive immigrant-descended Jewish communities, and it gets erased from the story,” he added.

He also said that Mamdani’s office had expressed interested in discussing this with him but never followed up.

But a well-known rabbi didn’t understand what all the fuss was about.

“Don’t all get mad at me but I don’t see why Jews should feel excluded that we’re not on this map,” Rabbi Shais Taub posted on X. “The vast majority of Jewish New Yorkers were born in America and so were their parents. Also, there’s no specific place where we live. It’s not even comparable to the three different Chinatowns they have. How many Jewish enclaves would they have to list?”

“Look, I don’t know the intentions of the mapmakers, but to me it’s easy to accept that the reason why there is no Jewish enclave on this map is the same basic reason why there are no black (i.e. African-American) neighborhoods on this map,” he added.

Taub must have missed Little Africa in the Bronx, clearly shown on the map.

One observer treated the whole incident with typical Jewish humor.

“They didn’t include us because it’s a map of neighborhoods to avoid walking alone at night ,and Jewish neighborhoods are safe,” one commenter quipped.

An immigrant map of the entire United States published by the New York Times for the Fourth of July also omits Jewish enclaves, though it does show Israeli neighborhoods. When asked about this, the authors of the map said that the Census Bureau, which they relied on for their map, does not collect data on religious identity.
