They literally give their life and soul to their community, and the "Jewish community" that gets government funding is nervous of them and undermines them in every which way possible.

File this under "who came up with this terrible idea?" or is this some form of clickbait?

Quote
In 1987, the leaders of both countries announced the creation of a common unit of account, called the gaucho, to measure trade between the nations. The idea didn’t work out amid disagreements and because of the high volatility affecting the countries.

They have similar challenges now. Argentina has annual inflation of almost 100% and a presidential election later this year, compared to Brazil’s 5.8%. The fast depreciation of the peso compared to the real and the autonomy of Brazil’s central bank, which could oppose the initiative, are also significant obstacles.

The political unrest/situation in Peru right now, won’t help them much either.

A simple fact some can't or don't want to understand!!!

Opinion: The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism

Lol, you don't have to look forward. You can look backward at any number of places that used to be heavily Jewish in the NYC area (Harlem, Brownsville, East New York, Bronx, etc.). Or for that matter many formerly thriving Jewish communities in the most random places across America that basically disappeared completely.

What do you mean by this? Orthodox shuls wouldn't be sold to churches?

How many orthodox shuls in Brooklyn that are currently active are likely to be sold to a church within 10 years?

Do you see declining attendance? Aging communities with no second or third generation?

I don't know about 10 years, but have you ever walked down Remsen on Tahalucha?
