Wikipedia's article on the history of the Jews in the United States, community-edited. Reliable for the standard, undisputed figures on the Eastern European Ashkenazi immigration wave, about two million people between 1880 and 1914, and the population data bracketing it, 250,000 in 1880 and the 1924 Immigration Act that ended the wave; not the right source for a claim about any single community's religious practice.
