YYTZ – they are probably including the entire RBS (Alef, Bet, and Gimmel). I was only referring to Alef which is what I had assumed that assurnet was referring to. He could have also been referring to Gimmel. I don’t know much about Gimmel, but I had been under the impression that it’s similar to Alef.
I’m still surprised that it’s 20% Anglo. Are you sure it was just referring to RBS and not to the entire Beit Shemesh. It’s true that Beit is only about 1% Anglo, but it’s teeny compared to Alef, so it shouldn’t affect the numbers that much.
Maybe Gimmel has many more Israelis than Anglos? Also, there are some people who are neither Anglo or Israeli so I guess that changes the numbers. Still hard for me to see how it could be 20% Anglo.
