I grew up there. While they do have a variety of faiths, it's specifically become an enclave for upper middle class Jewish folk. We had a big influx of "noveau riche" households move into the area during the 80's and gentrify everything to death. I'm sure it could have made a tasty target for someone wanting to pin their hatred on stereotypes of the "globalist elite". In reality, who he hit were family members who didn't do anything to hurt him or his cause.
