Abstract:

In Contemporary Jewry 15, 26-38. This paper presents results from a population survey of Orlando and compares its geographic, demographic, religious and philanthropic profile with the results of other Florida communities and with those of NJPS. In part, the differences from other Florida communities are attributable to the fact that the population of Orlando is significantly younger.
