Jews are too broad a category to assume that all of them are elite. Recent Russian-Jewish immigrants in Brighton Beach and poor ultra-Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn are hardly elite. Most secular Jews aren't really elite either. They are middle class, perhaps upper middle class if we are generous. It is true that a disproportionate number of people in certain elite groups (e.g. media, academia, finance) are Jewish, but most American Jews either don't work in those sectors or don't have high enough positions to be movers and shakers.
