If anyone knows offhand, I need them. I am trying to bring some Jews back to the fold.

But the bigoted humor aside - the biggest potential problem is that an unfettered Trump regime would be a dream-come-true for his rabidly anti-Semitic base (which only "approves of Israel" when they bomb people they hate even more).
They've long blamed Jews for just about everything under the sun - and Trump knows that.

Tell the people who you were trying to bring back into the fold that we got rid of two antisemitic extremists in primaries, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush. Democrats have the ability to self-correct. And with Trump out of the picture, it will be easier to get rid of people like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar because if Trump is gone, there might be less anti-Muslim prejudice, and therefore more attention could be drawn to their antisemitic hatred.
Also if they forgot to remind them of Trump calling the Nazis who marched in Charlottesville very fine people and some of the people who attacked the capital, praised the Holocaust
