Abstract:
This study, based upon the NJPS and subsequent interviews with the NJPS sample of intermarried couples and additional sample groups in 1993 and 1995, adds substantially to what we know about intermarriage and provides the basis for communal response. The study demonstrates that only a minority of intermarried couples appears receptive to Jewish communal outreach efforts, it offers for the first time a rational basis for the community to determine which of these activities are most effective and how best to pursue them.
