"Hours before the start of Rosh Hashana on Friday, Congregation Shaarey Tefilla announced it will open a synagogue in Carmel by August 2007.
The move reflects a northward migration of the Jewish population to Hamilton County, said Rabbi Arnold Bienstock, talking by cell phone as he arrived home to celebrate the Jewish New Year.
Bienstock estimated Hamilton County's Jewish population at 5,000 to 6,000, based on numbers from the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis.
'I have a lot of anecdotal evidence' of the move of Jews to Hamilton County, he said. 'My youngest daughter goes to Creekside Middle School, and there's a strong presence there.'"
