Yet the "Jewish establishment" isn't that enthusiastic about him and it's hardly been noticed.

I'm guessing they've sufficiently "arrived" and it's not much of an issue anymore.

I'm sure that Bernie Sanders has a lot of support among Jews. I don't know what the numbers are though.

I don't doubt that he is.  But does he enjoy any particular advantage among Jewish voters?

There are of course lots of Jewish lefties that naturally gravitate towards Sanders, but there are a lot of moderate and DLC-type Democrats as well.

Bernie's got the "red diaper baby" vote locked up, and some of the overlapping "urban Jewish elites."  Immigrant and traditional religious Jews don't play a big role in Democratic primaries I don't think.
