Well, yes. But Anglo-Australian Jewry has a very different feel to the memory of the Catskills Borscht belt, and young Elliot smelled of the latter.

Though a smart child without community is raised by books, so maybe Elliot just read too many compendiums of 1950s NY Jewish culture; he won't have been the only one.

(Google reminds me that, after the expulsion of English Jews in 1290 -- where they left for Poland, the NY of the times --- Jews returned to Exeter in the 18th century CE. Elliot does not read like his cultural identity was built in Exeter.)
