Jewish people in general tend to vote for Democrats (around 70% according to Pew) but there’s a contingent of ultra-orthodox (obviously far right) and retired Jewish people (especially in Florida, a traditional swing state) that are more swing voters but Florida is more red than purple now so they’re less important in presidential elections. So, it’s not a monolithic block. But way more democrats.
There are lots of ultra-Orthodox Jews that are apolitical. They don’t keep up with U.S. politics and they don’t vote because they don’t want to be part of the system (despite benefitting from it in many ways).
But retired Jews in Florida are another matter. That said- the older generation that leans right is dying out.
