Former student here (about to start residency) - the area around Einstein is very safe. In first year, an NYPD officer gave a presentation and noted that the precinct is one of the safest in all of NYC. The neighborhood, Morris Park, is not Jewish (and just to clarify - Einstein is a secular (non-religious) medical school operated by a Jewish university, but even this will change, as in 3 years Einstein will grant its own degrees a la Mount Sinai and will no longer be the medical school of Yeshiva University).
The neighborhood is actually very Italian, and the fire hydrants are painted red/white/green, lots of pizza places/pastry shops etc.. The neighborhood adjacent to the school to the northwest/next to Jacobi is a solidly middle class neighborhood. If you walk 10 minutes south, I wouldn't feel safe walking alone at night, but the area around campus and going north, east, and west is very safe.
