Holocaust figures

It seems to me that while the intro claims one-third of the Jewish population killed, the section on the Holocaust gives one fourth. Anyone know where the figures come from? (I'll probably be putting up an accuracy dispute tag to draw attention to the talk page.) Deltabeignet 04:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did the more logical thing and checked around; being as The Holocaust gives one-quarter, I changed the lead to that. I also checked a book that references the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, also giving a little under a quarter. Deltabeignet 04:45, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Constantius ?

The article currently says "The emperor Constantius (321) compelled them to share in the curia ..." But, so far as I know, Constantius Chlorus was dead and Constantius II was not Emperor until 337. Wrong date maybe ? Or should it be Constantine I ? Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Constantine I makes sense to me

Page Move

I would like to rename this article as French Jewry. If you disagree please discuss.

My intention is to organise all article on internationally Jewish communities in such a way that they interlink categorical. Presently, someone linking from say this article to 'history of french Jewry' is hopping in between diverse articles, as apposed to understanding world Jewish demographics

Requested move

History of the Jews in France → French Jewry {this is a none demographic term Chavatshimshon 19:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)}[reply]

Oppose. The proposed title implies a single "Jewry", but (for example) the Jews of Alsace are not by any means part of the same historic Jewry as those of Paris. I'm also very bothered that it looks like this move was proposed and then executed with less than 24 hours for comment. We should move this back. - Jmabel | Talk 17:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Décret Crémieux

In the "Assimilation" chapter of the History of French Jews there is a big mistake. You write that décret Cremieux gave french nationality to all Jews from North Africa. In fact it was only to the Jews of Alageria, an integral part of the franch territory and not to the Jews of Marocco and Tunisia which were only french protectorates. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.56.76.114 (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Since the "assimilation" heading was mentioned; for the sections dealing with French attitudes towards Jews in the latter part of the 19th century, at least SOME mention should be made of Arthur de Gobineau.

there's a nice wiki article on Gobineau already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_de_Gobineau —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.139.47 (talk) 20:43, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

School

Don't most French schools have mandatory class Saturday mornings? During the Shabbat? How does that go? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 01:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

21st C, today section

I think this is needed, the article seems to stop dead toewards the end of the 20t C. Teatreez (talk) 16:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

There are more names listed in the infobox than there are pictures, so it obviously doesn't match up. I have no idea which picture belongs to which name, but it would be good if someone who does know could fix that. Tad Lincoln (talk) 06:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The picture gallery should have some well known french jews

How about we add Nicholas Zarkozy, Dominique Strauss-Khan, and Bernard Kouchner? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.132.56 (talk) 19:50, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sarkozy and Kouchner are not Jews, as far as I know. Jayjg ^(talk) 03:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

outdated content

Almost all of the first section of the article is copied unaltered from the 1913 Jewish encyclopedia. Though this is in the public domain, the judgements, and perhaps the emphasis, are antiquated. The first step in correcting this would be to indicartd exactly by quotations what has been copied. The second is remove all value judgments which cannot be substantiated by modern sources--or at least to word them as :"In the view of the 1913 JE, ...." to indicate their probable lack of validity. I have marked a few with tags. The third step, or perhaps the better alternative, would be to rewrite the section from scratch. The material from the JE that is other than purely facutal really belongs in a section "Nineteenth and early twentieth century views". DGG ( talk ) 19:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What are the socioeconomic levels of the French Jews?

Are Jews in France as educated or wealthy as Jews living in the United States, Canada and other countries? What are the Sephardic Jews from North Africa in this regard? Are they earning more, less or just as much as the average French citizen?
