Little Israel Edit Meaning

1.

noun. In any city, an area which has a relatively dense population of persons of Jewish descent, but not necessarily to the utter exclusion of other races, creeds and denominations.

In former times, these enclaves of Jewishness were called ' Ghettos', although the term ghetto is now more commonly associated with areas populated by lower-class African American communities.

A good example of a Little Israel would be the Sarcelles district in Paris, France or Kew Garden Hills, Queens, New York.

Synonyms: Little Tel Aviv, Little Jerusalem, Hymietown

Guy 1: Damned indeed!
