Mussa: Jews are actually only 1.9 percent of the U.S. population. We range from 5.2 million to 6.7 million out of 300 million, depending on what survey you want to go by. Also, the mag has such a small circulation because it is primarily geared toward intellectual leadership -- rabbis, academics, etc. Even there, many of them do not receive it.
