Shmoel: That’s… an interesting theory. I’m not sure why the Goyish name of a city that takes after the Goyish name of a city would have any bearing on why so many Jews live there. Isn’t it much more likely that it is because it was the biggest and closest metropolis in America when most Jews emigrated? Or are you saying that the city of New York was Zoche to have Torah in it because they were named after a city that slaughtered all of its Jews nearly a milenium ago?
