Abstract:

The 1965 and 1975 Boston studies are useful in answering questions about the past (and by inference the future) of American Jewish giving. Analyses of the 1975 data set have already led to the tentative conclusion that Jewish philanthropic support is likely to decline. This article builds upon and extends the earlier analyses.
