Jews tend to live in cities for a variety of reasons.
1) Jewish Ritual Requirements: More religious Jews tend to live close-together because they need kosher outlets for food, mikvot for cleanliness, synagogues to pray in, and a variety of other religious requirements that are easier to sustain in an urban environment.
2) Occupations: It is usually easier to get jobs in cities, especially in the highly skilled professions that many Jews either desire to participate in or actively participate in.
3) Community: Jews like to be around other Jews. There is a religious and cultural continuity that they share with each other that they do not share with others. (This is just like the Chinese or Italians.)
